Maduro threatens a temper tantrum (perhaps?) if not allowed in to Summit of the Americas.

Maduro says he will "take action" for veto of Summit of the Americas
Mar 5, 2018 5:38 pm

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said Monday that he will take action after receiving a veto by the Peruvian Foreign Ministry to attend the Summit of the Americas to be held in Lima on April 13 and 14.

During the meeting of the 15th Alba TPC Summit, Maduro said that initiatives for the actions to be taken have emerged from this meeting, and indicated that they will be announced in the coming days.

He questioned "the misplaced attempt to discriminate against Venezuela and prohibit participation in the Summit of the Americas" and indicated that it has a set of initiatives agreed upon in the meeting in private. "Surely initiatives will be announced, actions that are going to be taken," he said.

"Not because someone announces that Venezeula is not going to let him in, we are not going to shrink, Venezuela is going to battle for his right to have a voice and be heard," he said.

On the other hand indicated that it was agreed to hold a next meeting in four weeks to articulate a "Joint Economic Plan for a new stage of the Alba."

It should be noted that Maduro's invitation to attend the VIII Summit of the Americas was withdrawn for preventing the holding of democratic elections in his country, the Peruvian foreign minister reiterated on Monday.

I imagine he will take of his shoe and pound it on a podium? Accuse the US/EU/Colombia of (fill in the blank)? Hold his breath until he turns blue?

I expect Maduro's " take action" will be something similar to his "take action" against hyperinflation, corruption and crashing economy.
