WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump's willingness to meet with beleaguered Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro is harming the opposition and its leader, Juan Guaido, former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton said Friday in an interview with McClatchy.
Trump had immediate doubts about Guaido's ability to lead a revolution that could oust Maduro, despite a U.S.-led charge in early 2019 to have the democratically elected opposition leader recognized as interim president, Bolton said.
Those conflicting policy statements from Trump on Venezuela, which continue to this day, have weakened the opposition movement, Bolton asserted.
