Trump contradicts top aides by suggesting Putin not meddling in Venezuela
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump contradicted his own top advisers Friday by suggesting Russian President Vladimir Putin was not meddling in Venezuela.
Russia is a key Maduro ally, and the Kremlin has been sharply critical of the Trump administration's support for Guaido. “He had an airplane on the tarmac, he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it, and the Russians indicated he should stay,” Pompeo told CNN on Tuesday evening. Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, has also slammed the Russians for sending military personnel and equipment to Venezuela amid the escalating crisis. Russia dispatched two military planes and an unspecified number of Russian military troops to Venezuela in March, according to the State Department.
But according to Russia's readout of Friday's call, Putin suggested it was the U.S., not Moscow, that was interfering in Venezuela – by trying to install Guaido.
