Trump: The United States Officially Recognizes the Current Government of Venezuela
US President Donald Trump said that the United States has officially recognized the current government of Venezuela.
He said at the "Shield of the Americas" summit: "I am pleased to announce that this week we have officially recognized the Venezuelan government. We have legally recognized them."
The United States launched a military operation against Venezuela on the early morning of January 3, and President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were captured and sent to New York to face trial on drug trafficking charges. According to data from Venezuelan authorities, the bombing of Caracas and other regions has caused at least 100 soldiers and civilians to die, and about the same number of people were injured.
After Maduro was captured, the two countries are negotiating a new bilateral agenda, including cooperation in combating drug trafficking, unfreezing Venezuelan funds, selling oil from South American countries, and resuming diplomatic dialogue.
