Venezuelan army urged to back Guaido
4
MIAMI: US President Donald Trump on Monday urged Venezuela’s military to accept opposition leader Juan Guaido’s amnesty offer, or stand to “lose everything,” as a crisis deepened over President Nicolas Maduro’s refusal to let in desperately needed humanitarian aid.
Bringing in humanitarian aid is crucial to the viability of Guaido, who has denounced Maduro’s re-election last year as fraudulent and in January declared himself interim president, a move recognised by some 50 countries. He has given the Maduro government until Saturday to let shipments of mainly US aid into the country, which is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis due to shortages of food.

Trump sends a direct threat. He would gladly welcome such a conflict to free the people of
oppression; to get control of the oil; and to cast himself as a hero should he actually run
for re-election...

Outright interference in the affairs of a sovereign country that needs to be denounced at every forum.
