Former US national security adviser John Bolton
VENEZUELA’S national assembly president Jorge Rodriguez condemned former US national security adviser John Bolton after his recent admission that he had helped plan coups in other countries.
Mr Rodriguez branded the former US government official “crazy” and said that “Venezuela will never surrender” after the candid remarks made by Mr Bolton in an interview with CNN earlier this week.
He told the US broadcaster: “As somebody who has helped plan coup d’etats, not here, but, you know, other places, it takes a lot of work” and hinted at involvement in a plot to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
