Venezuelan volunteers place a bag of USAID humanitarian aid for storage at a warehouse next to the Tienditas International Bridge, near Cucuta, Colombia, on the border with Venezuela, Friday, Feb. 8, 2019. Trucks carrying U.S. humanitarian aid destined for Venezuela arrived Thursday at the Colombian border, where opposition leaders vowed to bring them into their troubled nation despite objections from embattled President Nicolas Maduro. Guaido called upon the international community for humanitarian aid. The Associated Press explains the Venezuela aid standoff:___HOW DID WE GET HERE? Maduro has refused the aid, disavowing any humanitarian crisis and saying Venezuela is not a country of beggars.
