Turn in Venezuela Crisis Hinges on Aid Showdown at Border
CÚCUTA, Colombia — The Trump administration and the Venezuelan opposition have staked their plans to weaken President Nicolás Maduro on a climactic moment only days away: On Saturday, they will try to break his blockade of the border with a delivery of food and medication.
The two have set Feb. 23 as the deadline for an ambitious land-and-sea campaign that would bring humanitarian supplies through Colombia, Brazil and the Caribbean and into the hands of thousands of Venezuelans who have suffered the greatest economic collapse the region has faced in generations.
On Monday, President Trump made the case at a rally in Miami to an enthusiastic audience, which included Americans of Venezuelan descent shouting “U.S.A., U.S.A.!”
“We’re here to proclaim a new day is coming in Latin America,” he told the crowd. “In Venezuela, and across the Western Hemisphere, socialism is dying and liberty, prosperity and democracy are being reborn.”
Declaring Venezuela to be the victim of a “tyrannical socialist government,” Mr. Trump said, “The people of Venezuela are standing for freedom and democracy, and the people of the United States of America are standing right by their side.”
