President Trump lambasted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro for preventing humanitarian aid from entering the country and accused him of being a "Cuban puppet."
Trump noted that there are "truckloads" of humanitarian aid stalled at the Venezuelan border "waiting to help millions and millions in need."
"Two days ago the first US Air Force C-17 landed in Colombia loaded with crucial assistance, including thousands of nutrition kits for little Venezuelan children," Trump said.
"Unfortunately dictator Maduro has blocked this life-saving aid from entering the country. He would rather see his people starve than give them aid."
Trump pointed the finger not just at Maduro, but at the "small handful at the top of the Maduro regime" who he accused of plundering the nation.
"We know who they are and we know where they keep the billions of dollars they have stolen," Trump said.
Trump also warned that Venezuelan military officials who continue to back Maduro are "risking their future."
"They are risking their future, they are risking their lives and Venezuela's future for a man controlled by the Cuban military and protected by a private army of Cuban soldiers," Trump said. "Maduro is not a Venezuelan patriot, he is a Cuban puppet. That's what it is."
