NEW NEWS: Trump changes position on Venezuela and Russia after conversation with Putin




The president of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, confirmed Friday the telephone meeting he had with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, about the political situation Venezuela is currently facing.
After the call, Trump maintained his conviction that Putin "is not thinking of intervening in Venezuela," which is unmarked by the statements made by the US National Security Advisor, John Bolton or the US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo, in which they intended to give Russia an interventionist role in the South American nation.

"He is not thinking at all of intervening in Venezuela, beyond that he wants to see something positive happen in the country, and I feel the same," said Trump.




Just three hours before Trump spoke to the press, Bolton wrote on the social network Twitter that "Maduro is only clinging to power because of the support of Russia and Cuba, the only foreign military forces in Venezuela."

"The US will not tolerate any foreign military interference in the American continent," Bolton warned.




Similarly, after the attempted coup last Tuesday by sectors of the right against the government of Nicolás Maduro, Pompeo said that the alleged resignation of President Maduro did not take place by order of Russia, a comment that denied Trump in his conversation with Putin.

These statements represent a turning point in the speech of Trump, who at the time said that "all options are on the table" on the political situation of the South American nation.

Could Russia and the US come to a deal over Venezuela’s Maduro?

As unrest continues in Venezuela, some analysts are questioning how much support Russia will give beleaguered President Nicolas Maduro and if Moscow could be ready to strike a deal with the U.S. to end the Latin American country’s political and humanitarian crisis. The U.S. and Russia have traded fresh barbs over Venezuela, each accusing the other of interfering in the country as protesters took to the streets for a second day in support of opposition leader Juan Guaido. On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Maduro was prepared to leave the protest-wracked country Tuesday morning but said he had changed his mind after Russia intervened. "They had an airplane on the tarmac. He was ready to leave this morning, as we understand it. Russians indicated he should stay," Pompeo told CNN. Russia rebuffed that accusation, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying Wednesday that the U.S. assertion was part of an "information war,...

The tragedy of Venezuela will seriously affect the US

Knowing what I know about my own Administration’s attempt to unseat Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2002, I was not surprised when the effort was recently renewed by the Trump Administration, particularly when such arch-defenders of Latin American rights as Elliott Abrams, Marco Rubio, and Rick Scott – not to mention John Bolton – began to appear on the White House payroll. Knowing as well that Trump did not give a farthing for what happened in Venezuela but was concentrated on what he is always focused on, domestic politics, I knew these underlings would be allowed to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war in Venezuela so long as doing it secured Florida’s electoral votes for Trump in 2020. What I did not know – but looking back to 2002, should have – is how utterly incompetent the CIA would be in pulling off the "soft coup d’etat" that its leaders promised Trump. The events of the past 48 hours have demonstrated that incompetence markedly, as well as the real...
