bags with food medicine and other basic goods that they come to find here in colombia because they have become increasingly difficult to find inside venezuela earlier. the border was completely sealed with both the legal crossings like the bridge that you see behind me but also the different paths that increasingly venezuelans are using to cross when they're not let on the bridges to cross the river into colombia and roughly two thousand a couple of thousand venezuelans who live here in the border city of a clear demonstration earlier in the day in support of the uprising that was happening inside their country among them there were roughly a couple of hundred sixty or seventy s. when our armed forces who have been living here in since february when they heed the call of one white go to defect they said that they were ready to return

a peaceful transfer of power that the us president is monitoring the situation in venezuela by the minute and he also said that he was the people in venezuela to go through what they said they would do to allow for a transition of power if this effort fails they will sink into a dictatorship from which there are very few possible alternatives it's a very delicate moment i want to stress again the president wants to see a peaceful transfer of power from the doro to go i don't know that possibility still exists if enough figures depart from the regime and support the opposition there john bolton also says that he does not view what is taking place in venezuela as any sort of who and when asked about some support on the ground for president nicolas maduro someone the united states does not support he said this is really just military fear of cuban security forces madeira is directing his thugs to

conduct his affairs he went on to caution russia for its involvement as well in venezuela saying that they view the actions of russia in venezuela to be very serious and that we expect the russians not to interfere so very clear on the u.s. position by the national security adviser john bolton that the united states still continues to push for a peaceful transfer of power to the interim leader one. but as it is about to the to the united nations some real long taught us the violence in caracas is a military coup created by the u.s. . apple yellow put it over there was a very dangerous incident that was supported by the u.s. government they knew what was happening like in chile in the seventy's or as in any other country in latin america this demonstrates that the u.s. government considers venezuela part of its property and through war they want to destabilize using domestic agents. but said to african sudar ruling
