A retired Venezuelan military officer warned that the country's armed forces would abandon President Nicolás Maduro if the United States launches military action, as Washington expands its regional operations and rejects a new proposal from Maduro to leave power after a two-year delay.
José Antonio Colina, a former member of the Venezuelan armed forces and president of the exile organization Veppex, told NTN24 that "Maduro has no capacity to negotiate with the United States at this moment, except for his immediate exit from power."
