Venezuela Decries Reported Meetings Between U.S. Officials And Coup Plotters
The meetings, reported by The New York Times, happened secretly after rogue officers contacted the U.S. government. The Trump administration apparently decided not to help the Venezuelan officers.
Venezuela is responding angrily to a report in The New York Times that details alleged secret meetings between Trump administration officials and Venezuelan military officers seeking to oust the country's authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro.
"We denounce before the international community the intervention plans and the support of military plots by the United States government," Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs Jorge Arreaza said.
