President Trump just denounced the leadership of President Maduro (see below) and has officially recognized a new leader for Venezuela.
People have taken to the streets in the thousands to protest against Maduro’s socialist policies. The people have been literally starving living under the socialist regime of Maduro.
This is a great day for the people of Venezuela!
