Guaido Says He Might Agree to US Military Intervention

Speaking to the Italian La Stampa newspaper, Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido has said that he will “perhaps” agree to a US military intervention if it could help resolve the political crisis in his country.

Guaido added that he does not rule out the Venezuelan opposition resorting to a constitutional provision calling for an external military intervention.

“This is one of the possibilities. We have chosen the path of elections, but the people are suffering so we must responsibly consider [all the options]”, he pointed out.

He claimed that the only foreign units currently present in Venezuela are Cuban servicemen who support President Nicolas Maduro.
