Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that President Nicolas Maduro is 'ruling for the moment,' but cannot be part of the country's future, adding that the Venezuelan people 'will demand' that he leave office.
Amid political unrest in Venezuela, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday that President Nicolas Maduro is"ruling for the moment," but cannot be part of the country's future, reiterating the Trump administration's support for interim President Juan Guaidó.
Pompeo also said on Sunday,"Maduro cannot feel good about the security of his position today, and he shouldn't. Because the Venezuelan people will demand, ultimately, that he leave." Earlier this week, Pompeo charged that Russia had blocked U.S. efforts to get Maduro out of the country, persuading him at the last minute not to take a waiting plane to Cuba. Karl asked Pompeo if Maduro would still be in power if he did not have the support of the Cuban and Russian governments.
"We talked about many things. Venezuela was one of the topics. And he is not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela other than he'd like to see something positive happen for Venezuela. And I feel the same way," the president said."The president has said that the Russians must get out. ... The objective is very clear; we want the Iranians out, we want the Russians out, we want the Cubans out.
