Venezuela crisis: US sending aid 'at Guaidó's request'
3 February 2019
The US says it is sending aid to crisis-hit Venezuela following a request from Juan Guaidó, the opposition leader who has declared himself interim president.
Mr Guaidó's move last month won swift backing from the US and others but triggered a power struggle.
Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has accused him of mounting a coup and retains major international allies.
He has dismissed US offers of aid as a pretext for military intervention.

How will the aid scheme work?
Mr Guaidó does not control any territory in Venezuela, so instead he is planning to set up collection centres in neighbouring countries where Venezuelans have fled to.

I wonder where Juan Guaidó is getting his money from? He marched against Chavez which Pence thinks is so wonderful. Juan Guaidó has some connections to the traitorous broadcast corporation that was chased out of Venezuela.
I guarantee you the Venezuelan people are going to find out Juan Guaidó is NOT who he pretends to be. Just like we found out Trump wasn't who he pretends to be.

(16,881 posts)3. Actually, a bit of a struggle is ongoing in the EU over this,
if you look behind the narrative curtain...
There is no united EU position. Italy vetoed. In spite of media headlines, you are looking this morning at what they call a "coordinated" approach by seven out of the twenty-eight EU member states.
