PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Venezuelans in South Florida were reacting to President Donald Trump’s Friday commentary on Axios about the possibility of meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Trump has used economic sanctions in his attempt to oust Maduro after deeming his 2018 re-election a fraud and considering Juan Guaido as the oil-rich country’s legitimate president.
“We labeled him a drug trafficker,” Gamarra said about the U.S. policy on Maduro.
But now we are going to talk to him?”Ackerman said he supports Trump’s sanctions and policy of increasing the pressure on Maduro and his administration.
“It’s impossible that President Trump would meet with Maduro at this time,” Ackerman said, adding he thinks the commentary is a political distraction.
