Venezuela braces for continued mass demonstrations, with Guaido calling for massive mobilizations against the government on May Day. Maduro’s supporters are also expected to gather en masse.
The leftist leaders of the three countries have accused the Trump administration of targeting them because of their refusal to accede to what they call Washington’s determination to dominate the region politically and economically. The Trump administration says it is seeking to foster democracy and “reject the forces of communism and socialism in this hemisphere,” as Bolton declared last month.
Trump has aggressively pursued a policy of seeking to overthrow Maduro’s government, which Washington describes as a dictatorship — a description rejected by Maduro and his supporters. Maduro was first elected president in 2013 after the death of his patron, the late Hugo Chavez, a longtime leftist firebrand and U.S. antagonist.In a defiant appearance on state television late Tuesday, Maduro denied the U.S. allegations that he was ready to abandon the country and called for a huge pro-government turnout on May 1 – which in Venezuela, as in many other countries, is seen as a day to pay homage to international labor.
"Tomorrow we will have a great mobilization of the country's working classes," Maduro vowed."To the streets to win peace!"Today's Headlines Newsletter
