Venezuela has accused the US of "brazen theft" after the US seized one of its government aircraft in the Dominican Republic.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the seizure of the plane on Thursday - the second Venezuelan plane the US has confiscated in the Caribbean country in less than a year.
US authorities said there were legal grounds for the seizure, based on violations of US sanctions, export controls, and money laundering.
The US has long imposed a variety of sanctions on Venezuela in response to what it describes as criminality, corruption and repression under the South American nation's leader, Nicolás Maduro.
