HENRY FOWLER and ROB POOLE explain the significance of today’s Megapicket
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson recently suggested that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro might be removed by a military coup — the latest US move to effect “regime change” and topple the democratically elected government.
The leaders of Venezuela’s armed forces have rejected Tillerson’s comments as “interventionist” and reaffirmed their support for Maduro’s government.
Tillerson’s remarks were made before he embarked on a regional tour to garner further support for the US’s strategy. In addition he is threatening to ban the import of oil and crude products into the US from Venezuela.
