Trump Support for Venezuela Regime Change is Very Risky Business
PARIS — In case anyone doubted it, the Trump administration is now making a conspicuous link between its choreographed support for regime change in Venezuela and its desire to topple the mullahs in Iran.
On Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo posted a tweet with three photographs: one showed Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro meeting with Iran’s “supreme leader” and its president, one with Maduro and Iran’s foreign minister, and then for good measure one from the archives of Maduro appearing alongside Raul Castro.
“Different dictators. Same results. #Iran #Cuba #Venezuela #EstamosUnidosVE,” Pompeo wrote.
