"It is unclear why Mr. Trump thinks he can demand anything from us. Venezuela is not the 51st state of the United States," the congressman wrote.
Mr. Pushkov stressed that the question of the presence of Russian troops in Venezuela is for the government of this country to answer, not for the decision of the US President.
Previously, US President Donald Trump asked Moscow to withdraw from Venezuela.
