President Donald Trump arrives to speak during a coronavirus task force briefing in the Rose Garden of the White House
BOLIVIA’S ousted socialist president Evo Morales has denounced US aggression against Venezuela, saying the Donald Trump administration was seeking to distract attention from its poor handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Venezuela would continue to “stand firm” against attacks, Mr Morales said, referring to the US’s demand for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last week on charges of “narco-terrorism.”
The charges were rubbished at the weekend by former UN Office on Drugs & Crime executive director Pino Arlacchi, who said Venezuela had never been part of “the main cocaine-trafficking circuits” between the world’s biggest producer, US ally Colombia, and main consumer, the US itself.
