Venezuela opposition sees Trump role as ‘clear sign’ of more pressure on Maduro

Julio Borges, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido’s chief diplomat, said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s attendance at a meeting solely about Venezuela during the U.N. General Assembly this week was a “clear sign” that pressure on President Nicolas Maduro would increase, Euronews reports.

Trump and U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are expected to attend a meeting with Western Hemisphere leaders to discuss Venezuela on Wednesday, Borges said.
