WASHINGTON _ Ivanka Trump met with aides to Venezuelan National Assembly President Juan Guaido in Colombia on Wednesday to underscore support for a "democratic transition in Venezuela" and offer $120 million in U.S. assistance to neighboring countries under strain from a refugee crisis.
President Donald Trump's eldest daughter and senior adviser joined the USAID Administrator Mark Green and Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan at a migrant shelter in Cucuta, a Colombian city bordering Venezuela, to announce the new package, which brings total U.S. aid to Venezuelan refugees in the region to $376 million.
A delegation with Guaido, who has been recognized by the United States and 50 other nations as Venezuela's interim president, also met privately with Ivanka and Sullivan to discuss the national crisis, according to administration officials.
