“A risk for peace, and the integrity and stability of the country”
The sound is rough between the United States and Venezuela. The Venezuelan foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza called on the United States, the last remaining diplomats back. Previously, the negotiations on the so-called interest groups between the two countries had failed to secure after the withdrawal of diplomats to a minimum level of bilateral exchange.
In a statement from Venezuela it is now called, the presence of the staff represents a risk for peace, and the integrity and stability of the country, because “different speakers”, the government of U.S. President Donald Trump “has threatened the use of military force for the protection of the diplomatic staff in Caracas”.

Concern about the safety of U.S. diplomats

January broke off Venezuela’s diplomatic relations with the United States, officially as a reaction to the fact that the United States Juan Guaidó as interim President of Venezuela recognized.

China get on Board
In addition, the United States wanted to get Venezuela’s economic partner of China, “on Board”. Just like Russia, the country billion, had forgiven loans to the Maduro Regime, and thus for a long time the economic collapse is prevented.

This could be understood as an outstretched Hand in the direction of China.
The greatest pressure on the Maduro Regime currently comes, however, from the inside.
