The Trump administration continues its threats on Venezuela! In the last few days, the administration announced that $40 million of international aid previously destined for Honduras and Guatamala would be shifted and given to the U.S. supported, self proclaimed President Guaido to enable Guaido to pay salaries and offer expense reimbursement for his cronies. Guaido has announced his phony Venezuela government was going to re-enter the Inter-American Treaty of Mutual Assistance, a military alliance anchored by the U.S. There is concern that this move might be an effort to create a vehicle for requesting a U.S. invasion.
