Trump's guardianship over Venezuela clashes with the earthquake tragedy

Source Summary

The last time US boots stepped on Venezuela was on January 3rd at dawn to kidnap President Nicolás Maduro and steer the country towards a kind of United States protectorate. Now, half a year later, the US army returns to Caracas to conduct rescue operations in the face of the devastating earthquake that has claimed the lives of at least 920 people and left more than 4,000 injured . The tragedy represents an unforeseen turn in the tutelage that US President Donald Trump wishes to exercise over the country to strip it of its oil.
