President Donald Trump said Russia “needs to get out” of Venezuela after Vladimir Putin sent military planes and troops to an airport near Caracas over the weekend.
Trump made the comments Wednesday during a White House meeting with Fabiana Rosales, the wife of Juan Guaido, whom the U.S. and other nations have recognized as the legitimate leader of Venezuela.
