Donald Trump’s administration wants to remove Maduro from power: they take as an example the end of the Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad, reports Axios
A few days after Donald Trump’s swearing-in as president-elect, the situation in Venezuela seems to have reached the ears of the team that will accompany the former president in his new presidential season.
As confirmed by the news and information agency Axios, the administration of the incoming North American government wants a change of command in Venezuela, after learning that the dictator Nicolás Maduro took office as president despite the results obtained by the opposition and which gave the opponent Edmundo González Urrutia as the only winner.
After Maduro himself even talked about helping with the invasion of Puerto Rico to “liberate” it from imperialism, Donald Trump’s team assured that they want Maduro to follow the same path as the recently overthrown dictator Bashar al-Assad. who we remember fled to Russia after being surrounded by soldiers who wanted to free themselves from the Syrian regime.
A Trump adviser involved in foreign policy told Axios: “We wouldn’t mind in the least to see Maduro being Assad’s neighbor in Moscow.”
The media recalled that during his campaign, the president-elect, Donald Trump, accused Maduro of intentionally sending members of criminal gangs such as the feared Aragua Train to the United States.
The words of the advisor close to Trump come a week after the elected Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, assured that Venezuela’s closest ally is Cuba, the oldest enemy regime of the United States in the region, but not only that, The Maduro regime is allied with China, Russia and Iran, making it a dangerous objective for the North American country.
According to Axios, Trump’s interest in a change of mandate in Venezuela increased after the decision of Joe Biden’s administration to remove Cuba from the list of terrorist countries and relax restrictions on Americans on the island.
“It is not sustainable,” said the Trump adviser involved in foreign policy negotiations over the situation in Venezuela. Maduro “is literally ruining the country… there are massive refugee problems, sending criminals to the United States, “oil production is declining and there are Chinese, Russians and Cubans there,” Axios reports.
On the other hand, Edmundo González Urrutia, whom the United States considers “elected president” of Venezuela after ignoring the re-election of Nicolás Maduro, will attend Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington on January 20, the opponent’s team reported on Thursday.
González Urrutia returns to the US capital two weeks after visiting the White House for a meeting with outgoing president Joe Biden, representatives of Congress and members of the future administration.
The United States, says a statement, “being a great ally of the Venezuelan democratic cause, invited the legitimate president of Venezuela, Edmundo González Urrutia,” who “has confirmed his attendance.”
