Trump says Venezuela crisis a ‘disgrace to humanity’
WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — US President Donald Trump on Thursday called the situation in Venezuela a “disgrace to humanity” and said the deadly political crisis was possibly the worst of its kind in “decades.”
“We haven’t really seen a problem like that… in decades, in terms of the kind of violence that we’re witnessing,” Trump told a joint press conference with visiting Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.”People don’t have enough to eat. People have no food. There’s great violence. And we will do whatever is necessary and we will work together to do whatever is necessary to help with fixing that. (…) what is happening is really a disgrace to humanity.”
