US will pay heavy price, warns Venezuelan president

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has said the US government will pay a heavy price for classifying Venezuela as a threat, Spanish news agency Efe reported.

"US has committed its biggest mistake in history by declaring Venezuela a threat and it is going to cost them dearly in the political, diplomatic and human realms," Maduro said on Thursday from the Miraflores presidential palace after an anti-imperialist march.

US President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Monday declaring Venezuela a national threat over the "extraordinary risk" that the Venezuelan situation posed for US security.

Washington's move includes freezing assets that seven Venezuelan officials may hold in US jurisdictions, and banning them from US territory.
