Trump denies U.S. government role in failed incursion in Venezuela

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his government had nothing to do with the latest situation in Venezuela, where two Americans were detained after a failed incursion.

“I just got information, nothing to do with our government … we will find out,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about the Americans detained in Venezuela.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday that authorities had arrested two U.S. citizens among a group of “mercenaries,” following an attempted maritime invasion on Sunday.

The two Americans, Airan Berry and Luke Denman, were employees of a Florida-based security company called Silvercorp, whose owner has claimed responsibility for the invasion attempt, said Maduro, who showed on state television VTV their passports and other identification documents.

The armed incursion took place on Sunday in the port of La Guaira, 30 km north of the capital Caracas, which, according to Venezuelan officials, aimed to overthrow the government of Maduro.

  1. SILVERCORP U.S.A. is without doubt a C.I.A. ‘front’.

    ‘Plausible deniability’ is a HALLMARK of C.I.A. ‘covert operations’ so naturally Trump denied knowing anything about what happened in Venezuela (OPERATION GIDEON).

    “Good morning Mr. Goudreau. If any of your team are caught or killed, the Secretary [and President] will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”

    Mind you, ‘Racoon Head’ has created enough trouble recently without this mess in Central America : he’s presently trying to start a war with China about how ‘WUHAN FLU’ originated !!
