Trump: Russia says has removed ‘most’ personnel from Venezuela 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseRussia has told the United States that it has withdrawn most of its personnel from Venezuela, US President Donald Trump said Monday, two months after telling Moscow to “get out” of the crisis-plagued Latin American nation. “Russia has informed us that they have removed most of their people from Venezuela,” Trump tweeted during a state visit to Britain. Trump called on Russia to “get out” of Venezuela in March, after Moscow — in a significant show of solidarity for Maduro’s badly isolated government — deployed around 100 soldiers to the country. Washington has subjected Venezuela, a once rich country whose economy is now in a state of chaos, to economic sanctions in an attempt to force Maduro from power.
