The United States yesterday stated that it will not allow Guyana to be bullied or to  fall prey to tyranny as it stands strong in the partnership with this country.

“We keep our friends close. In the face of bullies and tyrants, the United States will always stand with Guyana. We will continue to grow and prosper together and enjoy peace and security in this critically important region,” United States Ambassador Nicole Theriot said a reception held at the Pegasus Hotel and Corporate Suites, Georgetown, to commemorate her country’s 248th independence.

Her remarks will be seen as a veiled reference to the aggression that has emanated from Venezuela.
