Aid inches toward Venezuela from Colombia, one truck enters from Brazil. Mr. Guaidó urged the Venezuelan military to allow trucks to cross the border while standing alongside the presidents of Paraguay, Colombia, and Chile — who are among the more than 50 heads of government to support him as Venezuela’s legitimate leader. “The humanitarian aid is definitely on its way to Venezuela, in a peaceful manner, to save lives right now,” Mr. Guaidó said in a short statement made in front of the warehouse on the Colombian side of the border where the aid had been stored for days. “I’ve made a clear call to the armed forces. They are welcome to join the correct side of history,” Mr. Guaidó said, later leaping behind the wheel of one of the trucks and waved and gave a thumbs up from the vehicle before it proceeded toward the Venezuelan border.
