Washington, March 6 (RHC)-- U.S President Donald Trump claims he "has plans" for Venezuela, addressing the Latino Legislative Coalition Summit in Washington.  The U.S. president did not offer details of his plans.

The U.S. President affirmed he is “with Venezuela,” as well as blamed the legitimate leader of the Bolivarian Republic, Nicolas Maduro, of causing “misery” for the Venezuelan people.  According to Trump, “communism and socialism” are the causes of Latin America’s difficulties -- "problems that Washington could solve."

The Trump administration's approach to Venezuela has been marked by unilateralism, lack of dialogue and disregard for the legitimacy of the current Caracas government.  Since his self-proclamation as  "president" of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó has had the support of the U.S. president, with whom he held a meeting at the White House last month. 

Washington maintains a brutal economic blockade against the government and people of Venezuela, as well as sanctions against its most important institutions and economic actors, as is the case of the Conviasa Airlines, the most important of that nation.  Other measures include limitations on the Russian oil company Rosneft because of its relations with the South American country.
