WASHINGTON (Reuters) – All U.S. diplomats remaining in Venezuela left the country on Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, amid a political crisis over the legitimacy of President Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 re-election.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed the ongoing crisis in Venezuela on Russia and Cuba, which he accused of dashing the “democratic dreams of the Venezuelan people” through a series of measures meant to foment continued unrest and provide cover to embattled strongman Nicolas Maduro.
(Reuters) – The United States will withdraw all remaining diplomatic personnel from Venezuela this week, the U.S. State Department said late on Monday, citing the deteriorating situation in the country after months of political unrest.
Does the mainstream media take its marching orders from the Kremlin?
