White House: Wrong time to pledge cash to Venezuela
Re: “US indicts leader of Venezuela on drug charges,” (TNT, 3/27).
In this time of extreme medical and economic problems, I cannot support the Trump Administration offering cash awards of up to $15 million for information leading to Nicolas Maduro’s arrest, nor up to $10 million each for others - up to a total of $55 million.
This money should be allocated to helping the devastation taking place in our country. So far none of the US support for Acting President Juan Guaido and the dismissal of Maduro has made any difference in Venezuela.
At this time, the administration needs to focus on our families, businesses and first responders.
