CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Washington formally protested Friday against Venezuela's seizure of cargo from a U.S. Embassy convoy while Venezuela defended the action, alleging it was an incident of smuggling that flagrantly violated diplomatic protocol.
Venezuelan National Guard stopped trucks carrying cargo from a U.S. military aircraft to the American embassy on Wednesday and seized 20 pieces.
The State Department lodged a formal complaint with Venezuela over the seizure, saying it violated international diplomatic laws.
