The US seeks to pour money into the opposition leader to overthrow the Venezuelan president

(Dan Tri) – The US government is said to be looking for ways to `pour money` into financial support for Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, including opening frozen accounts or loans.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido called on protesters during the coup on April 30.

CNN on May 3 quoted 3 US official sources as saying that the purpose of President Donald Trump’s administration in seeking financial support for the Venezuelan opposition leader is to help Mr. Guaido have more money to pay his victims.

“They are trying to find a way to help the (self-proclaimed Venezuelan) interim government with salaries and payments, so that they can claim, ‘We are a functioning government,’ a

“It could be money for many different people, including people in the military,” the source said, revealing that the Trump administration is considering a series of measures to provide financial aid and support.

Money transfer method

According to sources and experts, the US cannot directly transfer money by plane to Venezuela because of the country’s air defense system.

According to former US Treasury Department official Michael Dobson, the agency may relax sanctions on Venezuela’s state-owned companies in a special way so that money can flow into the opposition leader’s pocket.

The Trump administration has focused on financial support for Juan Guaido immediately after the US became the first country to recognize him as Venezuela’s interim president in January. Washington believes that pouring money into Juan Guaido is the key.

Just two days after Juan Guaido declared himself interim president of Venezuela, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave him control of Venezuelan government assets in the US, including bank accounts and real estate.

Supporters surrounded opposition leader Juan Guaido’s car during the coup on April 30.

Last month, Director of the US National Economic Council Larry Kudlow said the US was making efforts to provide economic support to opposition leader Juan Guaido as well as the Venezuelan people, something Washington considers necessary.

“We have many plans to rebuild the Venezuelan economy and act very quickly.

Also according to Mr. Kudlow, the US is considering using a network of `banks, iPhones, applications and many other smart ways to bring money into Venezuela` to support the opposition leader.

In recent months, governments that have recognized self-proclaimed president Guaido, including those in Europe and the Caribbean, have frozen Venezuelan state assets, including bank accounts, to prevent the government from

“This is happening all over the world.

Important time

US special envoy for Venezuela Eliott Abrams said in April that Washington expected to pour billions of dollars in investment into Venezuela if President Maduro resigns.

“In the future, billions of dollars will be invested in Venezuela to rebuild the country’s agricultural and industrial sectors,” Mr. Abrams said at the Atlantic Council in Washington.

Also according to the US diplomat, global financial institutions are planning to lend Venezuela billions of dollars more.

A senior official in the US government said that now is an important time to support opposition leader Juan Guaido in the context that the loyal team around President Maduro is gradually dwindling.

However, speaking to the press in the capital Caracas on May 1, Juan Guaido admitted that his efforts to overthrow the Maduro government failed partly because he did not receive enough support from the military.

A day earlier, Mr. Guaido called on the Venezuelan military to stage a coup to overthrow the Maduro government.

“We admit that yesterday (April 30) was not enough, we must convince all the armed forces to protest the government together.
