I left Cucuta heartbroken, but determined. Venezuelan children walking for hours through dense forest, across rivers and over terrorist-controlled territory just to get to a school in Colombia for an education and a meal.

Salí de Cucuta con el corazón roto, pero decidido. Hay niños venezolanos que caminan horas a través de bosques densos, a través de ríos y sobre territorios controlados por terroristas para llegar a una escuela en Colombia para recibir educación y comida.

This is evil. And there’s one man responsible for it – @NicolasMaduro. This is obvious to most of us. Maduro is carrying out a genocide on his people.

Esto es malvado. Y hay un hombre responsable, Nicolás Maduro. Es obvio para la mayoría de nosotros. Nicolás Maduro está llevando a cabo un genocidio sobre su pueblo.

While the evil of Maduro is obvious to most of us, it’s not obvious to the leaders of Cuba, Russia, China, Iran, and shockingly even some politicians in my country who have defended Maduro’s regime.

President Xi and President Putin are co-conspirators in the genocide of young children in Venezuela. They’re using the suffering of the Venezuelan people as an opportunity to gain an economic and military foothold in the Western Hemisphere.

Let me say this loud and clear: a Syria in the Western Hemisphere is not acceptable. The safe-harbor for our enemies in Venezuela represents a clear and present danger to the national security of the citizens of the United States and our allies in South and Central America.

.@jguaido is the legitimate President of Venezuela. There is a government in waiting. It is a country rich in natural resources and with an economic foundation to thrive under the right leadership.
