Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido met with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Bogota and was expectd to the World Economic Forum in Davos, as he rallies international backing for his campaign to oust president Nicolas Maduro.
In Colombia, Guaido also received the renewed support of President Ivan Duque during a meeting at the presidential palace. They visited a memorial service honouring the victims of a Bogota car bombing, accompanied by Pompeo.
Venezuela is a “failed state”, Pompeo told reporters after meeting Guaido, reiterating that the US is working with its allies to oust Maduro.
“I’ve heard this idea that we’ve underestimated Maduro. What’s been underestimated is the desire for freedom that rests in the hearts of the Venezuelan people,” he said. “We are collectively — the Europeans, the other countries in South America, the United States are determined to deliver that outcome for the people of Venezuela.”
In Davos, Guaido hopes to meet with US President Donald Trump.
