WASHINGTON _ The new top diplomat from Venezuela strode to the microphones outside the White House and asked for the free world's help to "liberate" Venezuela from a Cuban colonist.
Donald Trump's team couldn't have scripted it better.
It was a short, but impassioned speech by opposition leader Carlos Vecchio. He thanked President Trump for his help fighting to restore democracy in Venezuela and asked for international backing in the call for new elections. And he took clear and deliberate aim at the Trump administration's new favorite adversary, Havana.
