US working on options to pressure Cuba and Russia out of Venezuela
WASHINGTON — The United States is weighing options to limit Russia and Cuba from meddling in Venezuela, perceived as a stumbling block in the pursuit of a solution to the political crisis in the country, a senior State Department official told the Miami Herald.
“It’s a main focus for the Department of State to get the Russians and the Cubans out of Venezuela,” the official said on condition of anonymity to speak candidly about U.S. policy.
Venezuela is facing a dramatic humanitarian crisis and a political standoff between leader Nicolas Maduro and Juan Guaido, the head of the opposition-led National Assembly who is now recognized by the United States and more than 50 countries as the legitimate interim president.
Guaido’s call for a military and popular uprising against Maduro failed on April 30, after high-ranking members of the government and the military, who were negotiating a transition government, abandoned the plan and backed Maduro.
