USA 'seriously' considering military option in Venezuela
By: ANI (South Asia's Leading/Multimedia News Agency - 4-6-19
RE: https://www.aninews.in/news/world/us...0190406153154/

Washington [USA (/search?query=USA)], Apr 6 (ANI): The United States is
"seriously" considering a military option in Venezuela (/search?query=Venezuela)
"as events unfold", a US official said on Friday (local time).

Speaking to Sputnik, the official said: "Frankly, and also a military option, which is,
President Trump has said, on the table, and remains on the table. It's a very serious
option, obviously …none would like to see, but clearly one that is seriously
considered as events unfold."

This comes amidst the United States imposing fresh sanctions on Venezuela
(/search?query=Venezuela)'s state-owned oil company, by designating 34 of its
vessels. Companies and vessels related to Venezuela (/search?query=Venezuela),
accused of shipping oil to Cuba, were also listed on Friday.

The Latin American nation is currently in the throes of a political crisis, which is
worsened by hyperinflation, blackouts, and an acute shortage of water and
medicines.
In January, National Assembly (/search?query=National Assembly) President Juan
Guaido (/search?query=Juan Guaido) proclaimed himself as the President of
Venezuela (/search?query=Venezuela), as protests (/search?query=protests)
calling for elected President Nicolas Maduro (/search?query=Nicolas Maduro)'s
ouster shook Caracas. The United States immediately supported Guaido, asking
other nations to back the self-proclaimed President.

Several countries called for Maduro to step down or hold fresh elections, as they
largely view the elections which brought Maduro to power as rigged. Maduro has
refused to step down from his post or accept humanitarian aid from the United
States. The Venezuela (/search?query=Venezuela)n military continues to back him,
even though countries like US, UK, France, Japan, amongst others, recognise
Guaido as the interim President.

However, China, Russia and other countries have slammed international
interference in Venezuela (/search?query=Venezuela)'s internal affairs, throwing
their weight behind Maduro. (ANI)
