Juan Guaido Seeks to Establish ‘Direct Relationship’ With Pentagon
The development comes after a failed coup attempt which took place on 30 April and Guaido’s subsequent statement that he would “perhaps” agree to US military intervention if it would help resolve the political crisis in his country.
Self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido said on Saturday that he asked his envoy to the United States to meet with Department of Defence officials to “cooperate” on a solution to the Venezuelan political crisis.
According to Guaido’s earlier tweet, Operation Freedom consists of three steps: to create “Freedom and aid” committees “on every street of Venezuela;” to create “labour and sectoral committees” in the public and private sectors and begin preparation of “constitutional forces” within National Armed Forces.
