Civilians have died and been injured in a confrontation with security forces near the national border of Venezuela and Brazil, and Columbia
People protesting disputed President Nicolas Maduro’s efforts to keep humanitarian aid out of the country as security forces moved tanks to the border with Brazil faced Venezuelan military forces using tear gas and bullets while the demonstrators fought back with arrows and rocks.
The White House said in a statement that the U.S. “strongly condemns the Venezuelan military’s use of force against unarmed civilians and innocent volunteers on Venezuela’s border with Brazil.”
A U.S. diplomatic official in the area said news of the violence has traveled to a Brazilian military base on the border, where U.S. and Brazilian aid donations of tons of food, medicine and other aid, primarily from the United States, Brazil, and Colombia waiting for transport into Venezuela.
Maduro refuses the aid, saying Venezuela is not a nation of “beggars.” He has said he considers the aid the first stage of a U.S. invasion.
