Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez refuted remarks of US President Donald Trump about alleged deployment of Cuban troops in Venezuela.
On Monday, US President Trump told the Venezuelan American Community that incumbent Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was “controlled by the Cuban military and protected by a private army of Cuban soldiers.”
On Monday, Trump called on Venezuelan officials and military officers to not follow orders of President Nicolas Maduro to block the humanitarian aid deliveries to the country and to accept the offer of amnesty made by the opposition leader Guaido. The US leader also said that Washington was seeking a peaceful transition of power in Venezuela but noted that “all options” remained open.
