Gunfire struck a helicopter (MercoPress) carrying Colombian President Ivan Duque and other top officials near the Venezuelan border. No one was injured, and officials are offering a reward of nearly $800,000 for information about those responsible.
Duque discusses the Venezuelan refugee crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and more at this July 2020 CFR event. Venezuela: The United States, Canada, and the European Union said in a joint statement that they are willing to review sanctions (Bloomberg) on Venezuela’s government if there are “substantive, credible advancements” in talks to restore democracy in the country. |
