Media: U.S. actions in the Caribbean cost the White House about 3 billion dollars
Sputnik News, Moscow - According to Bloomberg, U.S. actions in the Caribbean cost the Trump administration about 3 billion dollars.
On January 3, the United States launched a large-scale air strike on Venezuela, resulting in at least 100 deaths. Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were arrested and taken to New York. According to U.S. authorities, they are suspected of involvement in "drug terrorism" and posing a threat to the United States. The first trial has already been held in New York, and Maduro and his wife have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Before invading Venezuela, the United States expanded its military presence in the Caribbean and imposed a naval blockade on this South American country. Subsequently, Washington sent a delegation to Caracas to assess the feasibility of restoring diplomatic services. Venezuelan interim president Rodriguez clearly stated that the crisis should be resolved through negotiations.
