Following the mutual threats and reports that the United States intends to intervene militarily in Venezuela, following the announcement of the President of the Parliament Juan Guaido himself as president, US national security adviser John Bolton, Friday, revealed his country's position on "military intervention" there, adding to the situation complicated.
Bolton said the United States had no intention of an imminent military intervention in Venezuela, but pointed out at the same time that "all options are still on the table," Reuters reported.
Asked whether the US military intervention was "imminent," or whether the intervention of Brazil, Colombia or the three countries was imminent, Bolton said in a radio interview: "No."
On Wednesday, Bolton raised the possibility of military intervention in Venezuela in conjunction with Washington's imposition of oil sanctions on the regime of President Nicolas Maduro.
The US security adviser appeared at a White House press conference with a notebook containing the words "5,000 troops to Colombia" near Venezuela.
For his part, US President Donald Trump praised the mobilization of thousands of Venezuelan opponents to persuade the Venezuelan army to turn its back on Maduro, and saw it as a "struggle for freedom."
Last Wednesday, Trump telephoned opposition leader Juan Guadillo and congratulated him after he declared himself acting president of Venezuela, backed by the United States.
Guido wrote on Twitter: "I thank US President Donald Trump for his contact," asserting that the US president "reiterated his firm support for the existing democratic work."
Maduro continues to hold the helm of the country and has strong support from countries, notably Russia, Mexico and Turkey.
