Juan Guaidó met with Mike Pompeo and Nancy Pelosi: “We must put an end to the terror regime that floods the streets of the US and the Caribbean with drug trafficking”

A day after his private meeting with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, the interim president of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, held a meeting this Thursday with the US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, and with the Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

As with Trump, both meetings were private. With Pompeo they greeted the press and then withdrew, while with Pelosi they gave a brief press conference.

“Together with the US Secretary of State, we followed up our agreements within the framework of the Anti-Terrorist Summit. We will exert more pressure and measures towards the dictatorship and the international criminal conglomerate that it represents, ”said the head of the Venezuelan National Assembly on his Twitter account, once the meeting ended.

The interim president of Venezuela also met with Mark Green, administrator of the International Development Agency (USAID).

“We continue working for our people, for Venezuelans, with the support of the United States, Latin America and Europe. Venezuelans are focused on obtaining solutions, we have built capacities without a doubt, but this year it must undoubtedly be for Venezuelans to achieve and achieve our goals, ”said the opposition leader upon arrival at the meeting.

At the meeting, the US official ratified Guaidó for support for Venezuela and the articulation to combat the attack campaign that the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro has used against the humanitarian aid sent by Washington and other countries of the international community.

After 2:30 p.m. local time, the Venezuelan leader gave a brief press conference with the president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, from the Capitol. The Democrat thanked Guaidó “for his courage and leadership” to face the dictatorship of Maduro. “We want free and fair elections, strong ties between our 2 countries and the release of oil executives captured by the corrupt Maduro regime.”

“The situation in Venezuela is a global challenge. And we are with you, Mr. President [Guaidó], in that fight, “he added.

The interim president of Venezuela, meanwhile, thanked “the reception” he had in the US Congress. “It is a Venezuelan, Latin American cause, against a dictatorship that hosts terrorists and drug traffickers to destabilize the region.” “We must put an end to the terror regime that destroyed Venezuela, which floods the streets of the US and the Caribbean with drug trafficking.”

He also said that “soon” will return to Venezuela.

For its part, Guaidó also plans to meet with the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro.

The Venezuelan opposition leader continues with his agenda, one day after the expected meeting with Trump, who was described as “very productive” by the interim president of the Caribbean country.

“We are insisting at all times that we have the support of the world, which is not Juan Guaidó, it is a cause, it is democracy, it is freedom, it is the possibility of seeing a definitively free continent, not allowing refuge to terrorists, not allowing refuge to drug traffickers, ”he added.

Guaidó thanked Trump’s “commitment”, who in his third annual speech on the State of the Union before Congress expressed his commitment to Venezuela’s “fair fight for freedom”.

“We face in Venezuela, as you know, a dictatorship, a dictatorship that persecutes, that torture, that kidnapping, that threat of death, that attempted against the vehicle of the deputies on January 15, that wants to destroy a country. We are not going to allow it, ”added Guaido, who anticipated that“ concrete actions ”against Maduro will be announced“ in due course ”.

A few days after Guaidó’s return to Venezuela, the United States warned the Chavez regime of the consequences if the opposition leader cannot return to Caracas safely. “We hope that the regime will calculate, particularly after this trip, that support for Guaidó will be strong and that the reaction against any movement against him will make it a mistake for the regime,” said Elliott Abrams, representative of the Trump’s government for Venezuela.
