(Trinidad Express) In a brief but hard-hitting statement on Venezuela’s developing political crisis, United States Ambassador Joseph Mondello yesterday slammed the Trinidad and Tobago Government for continuing to recognise Nicolas Maduro as president of the troubled country.
In a release headed “Democracy and prosperity require tough choices”, Mondello, stated:
“Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaido and the democratically elected National Assembly have the full recognition and resolute support of the United States of America and the majority of democracies in the Western Hemisphere. I find the official statements from the Government of Trinidad and Tobago recognizing the undemocratic and illegitimate government of Nicholas Maduro to be deeply concerning.
