Closing the border with MexicoIn retreating from his threat to close the border, Mr. Trump was withdrawing the warning that he issued strongly last week. If that doesn’t work, which it will, I will close the Border,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. “This will supersede USMCA,” Mr. Trump added. He has consistently said that Mr. Maduro must step down and has strongly suggested that United States military intervention was on the table. Mr. Trump has accused the Russian government of bolstering Mr. Maduro while the United States has been rallying support behind Juan Guaidó, the opposition leader.
