Venezuela foreign minister denies a military coup is underway, accuses opposition leader Guaido of operating under orders from Washington
- Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Tuesday denied there was a military coup attempt underway to oust President Nicolas Maduro and accused opposition leader Juan Guaido of operating under orders from Washington.
“It is not a coup attempt from the military. This is directly planned in Washington, in the Pentagon and Department of State, and by Bolton,” Arreaza told Reuters in a phone interview from Caracas, referring to U.S. national security adviser John Bolton.He said Maduro, who has been in power since 2013, was in full control of the country with the backing of the military, after Guaido called for a military uprising and armed factions exchanged gunfire outside a Caracas air base.
Asked why Maduro had not been seen in public on Tuesday, Arreaza said: “You will see President Maduro in Miraflores sooner rather than later.”
