The United States has sent tons of aid to Colombia's border with Venezuela, but Maduro has refused to let it in. U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday warned members of Venezuela's military who remain loyal to Maduro that they would "find no safe harbour, no easy exit and no way out." U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to an audience that included Venezuelan expats on Monday at Florida International University in Miami. "Those that attempt to be president here in Venezuela ... will have to pass over our dead bodies," he said, referring to Guaido. Maduro, who won a second term last year in an election that critics denounced as a sham, retains the backing of Russia and China and control of Venezuelan state institutions.
