Donald Trump, on the crisis in Venezuela: "We have many options open, some are quite difficult"

In the midst of the worsening of the political crisis that Venezuela is experiencing, the American president, Donald Trump, talked about the situation in this country said that "there are many options open, some very difficult" and considered that "Maduro loses a lot of control over the situation. "

"The situation is terrible. People are starving. There is no food, there is no water", answered the presenter's question about the most recent information from the White House on Venezuela.

"All the options are on the table," he continued, "in the case of Venezuela. We do everything we can do, with the exception of the extreme resource. There are people who would like to appeal to the extreme resource. But we have a lot of open options"

On what the options would be, Trump warned: "Some people would not even want to mention them because they are hard enough. But we will see what happens with regard to hunger. "

And, questioned about the chaos in which the country is submerged, he added, "You do not see that stuff anymore. Maduro does not accept food, I think he should accept them. It would be better for him if he did it. Because people who are starving become desperate and we see what is happening on the street. "

The President also praised the role of Juan Guaidó, leader of the opposition to the National Assembly and interim president recognized by several countries.

"I hope nothing happens to him, I watch him in the streets, in the streets where they kill people, and he acts there." He is very brave, reallyhe stressed.

Trump criticized, on the other hand, the role of Russia and China in the conflict to remember that Venezuela "was a rich country" but that their oil "is mortgaged" by both countries for all the money they put in those years. "It is a country facing foreclosure," he said.

"Maduro loses a lot of control"

On Maduro, the tycoon claimed that "Although he continues to act hard, he loses a lot of control". He added that "Venezuela reveals the failure of socialism", although he said that "the situation of this country could exceed socialism".

And he concluded: "Many things will happen next week. And maybe before. We will see what happens. We try to help people, we want to distribute food and medicine. "
