Earlier in the day, President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro claimed that Trump had ordered the Colombian government and mafia to kill him in order to get access to the Venezuelan oil.
“We are facing conspiracies and we are defeating them every day… a group of military deserters has become mercenaries of the Colombian oligarchy and conspired from Colombia to divide the national armed forces at my command”, Maduro said Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, in exclusive interview with Sputnik Nicolas Maduro said that Trump had ordered the Colombian government and mafia to kill him in order to get access to the Venezuelan oil.
“If something happens to me, it will be Donald Trump and Colombian President Ivan Duque that are responsible for that,” Nicolas Maduro told Sputnik.
Just a day before the statement, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela, vowed to win over the military, which still remains loyal to Maduro.
Meanwhile, during a Monday briefing concerning new sanctions against Venezuela, including its state-owned oil and gas company PDVSA, Bolton was photographed holding a yellow notepad that read: “5,000 troops to Colombia.” NBC News later reported, citing three defense officials, that no US troops were heading to Colombia or Venezuela.
