(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is seeking a peaceful change in Venezuela without excluding the use of force, to increase pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
He said: "we seek a peaceful transition of power, but all options are open."
Trump stressed his firm support to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, and in a parallel move, he attempted to push away Venezuelan officials from Maduro, warning them not to follow Maduro's order to block U.S. aid from entering Venezuela while persuading them to accept "Guaido's generous offer of amnesty."
"You will find no safe harbor, no easy exit, and no way out. You will lose everything," Trump warned.
