US says ‘all options’ on table if Maduro uses force in Venezuela
The United States is warning that “all options” will be considered if Venezuela’s hard-left President Nicolas Maduro uses force in his stand-off with opposition leaders.
“If Maduro and his cronies choose to respond with violence, if they choose to harm any of the National Assembly members…, all options are on the table for the United States in regards to action to be taken,” a senior administration official tells journalists.
