Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro called his U.S. counterpart "Comrade Trump" and told his people to expect "surprises" in the relationship between the two countries.
The socialist leader also hinted a deal is in the works to provide the hunger-stricken country with food imported from the U.S. "at a good price."
“We are bringing products imported by the revolutionary government from several sister nations: Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua ... and even the United States. Comrade Trump is offering me [basic food products] at a good price," Maduro said Sunday on his weekly TV show.
"There are going to be surprises," he added.

He’ll be surprised when “Comrade” Trump chops the legs out from under him.

Sounds like he’s baiting the US press to me, with the “Comrade” thing.
Food aid in exchange for demonstrable and sustained political reform might not be a bad idea, though, this is already spilling over into Colombia and threatens to throw the whole region into turmoil.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Call me a bitter sceptic. I doubt the food will get to ‘the people’.

I’d like to see Venezuela’s people helped, but with a new capitalist market based government replacing Manuro and his cadre.

“No. Roasted flamingo, maybe.”
The Romans considered “boiled flamingo with dates” to be a gourmet dish

I have several friends that moved to Columbia in the 90’s. One has already returned to the US in the last year and the others are very concerned about the Venezuela situation.
