Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos asked his American counterpart Donald Trump to urge Russian leader Vladimir Putin to stop supporting Venezuela’s government.
Santos took to Twitter on Saturday to ask Trump to address Russia’s support for the authoritarian government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The governments of both Colombia and the United States fiercely oppose Maduro. Russia, however, has been accused of helping Venezuela evade sanctions imposed by Washington DC.
Furthermore, Venezuela’s military appears to have received thousands of Russian surface-to-air missiles, according to news agency Reuters.
“To contribute to the crisis in Venezuela I am asking President Trump to request Putin to stop supporting the Maduro regime,” Santos said.
Para contribuir a la solución de la crisis en Venezuela, le pido al presidente Trump @POTUS que le solicite a Putin dejar de apoyar al régimen de Maduro. — Juan Manuel Santos (@JuanManSantos) July 14, 2018
Moscow secretly helped Venezuela launch a state-backed cryptocurrency in an effort to raise money and avoid US sanctions imposed on the South American country in August last year.

Some points from someone that lives in Colombia part time..4-5 months a yr. For several yrs.
Santos is a back stabbing weasel. Brought in the UN, kissed up to Farc and he is the toast of Europe..
And of course Russian scum live Maduro...as well as Ortega of Nicaragua. Russia is our enemy.
Hey, Columbia, if you have a problem with Russia, call them out yourselves. Or are you cowards? Don’t involve us.
Russian scum are all over Nicaragua, Iran, Venezuela, Bolivia and other places considered to be enemies.
Oh...add Russian worshippers here.
“Oh...add Russian worshippers here.”
Any minute now he’s going to call you a “Putinista”.
And that’ll REALLY hurt.
Can I get a purple heart for that?
LOL
