Trump tells Russia to get its troops out of Venezuela
#US President #DonaldTrump on Wednesday called on #Russia to pull its troops from #Venezuela and said that “all options” were open to make that happen. The arrival of two Russian air force planes outside #Caracas on Saturday believed to be carrying nearly 100 Russian special forces and cybersecurity personnel has escalated the political crisis in Venezuela.
Russia and #China have backed President #NicolasMaduro, while the United States and most other Western countries support opposition leader #JuanGuaido. In January, Guaido invoked the constitution to assume Venezuela’s interim presidency, arguing that Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate. “Russia has to get out,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, where he met with Guaido’s wife, #FabianaRosales. Asked how he would make Russian forces leave, Trump said: “We’ll see. All options are open.”
