PRESIDENT Trump has again raised the possibility of regime change in Venezuela, as talk of military intervention against its democratically elected government grows in the United States.
Speaking recently at the UN, he declared: “It’s a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military, if the military decides to do that” and later added that “all options are on the table.”
This comes hot on the heels of Republican Senator Marco Rubio’s aggressive remarks in an interview in Miami, in August.
