US claims Russia talked Maduro out of leaving Venezuela - The Guardian / CNN
The Guardian has reported that after the US president’s threats against Cuba, the Trump administration is aiming its rhetorical fire at Moscow.
"In an interview with CNN, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has said Washington had indications that Maduro was ready to leave Venezuela for the Cuban capital, Havana. The plane was “on the tarmac”, Pompeo said, but Russia convinced the Venezuelan president to stay.
Earlier, the US national security adviser, John Bolton, had warned Russia not to get involved, while Moscow has pointed the finger back and said the USA was trying to undermine its ally."
