Abrams fired back, calling the line of questioning "ridiculous" and refusing to respond to the personal "attack." Abrams said the American policy in Venezuela is to support the Venezuelan people's effort to restore democracy. The two leaders discussed, among other issues, the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela that has sent an estimated 1.14 million refugees into neighboring Colombia. He also urged the armed forces in Venezuela to abandon their support of Maduro and join Guaido’s camp. “There are off ramps if they support the people of Venezuela,” Abrams said of the Venezuelan military brass.
