US Secretary of State Pompeo criticises role of Cuba and Russia in Venezuela crisis
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laughs as he attends a meeting with Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs in the ministry building in Budapest, Hungary, February 11, 2019.
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro gestures during a meeting with workers at Complejo Siderurgico de Guayana in Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela March 6, 2019. “This story is not complete without acknowledging the central role Cuba and Russia have played and continue to play in undermining the democratic dreams of the Venezuelan people and their welfare,” Pompeo told reporters.
However, Maduro, who has accused Guaido of a US-directed coup attempt, retains the backing of Russia and China as well as control of state institutions including the military.
