"Donald Trump confirms that he is at the head of the coup, he again threatens to use military force, violating the United Nations Charter," Arreaza said in his official Twitter account.
He also said that the Venezuelan opposition "is controlled by Trump."
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was considering sending a military contingent to Venezuela.
Venezuela is undergoing an economic and political crisis that worsened on January 23, after the president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, proclaimed himself president "in command" of the country.
Venezuelan head of state Nicolás Maduro, who assumed his second term on January 10, described Guaidó's statement as a coup attempt and blamed the United States.
