"We regret that they want to use humanitarian aid in Venezuela as a ‘Trojan horse’ to invade and provoke a war. Latin American brothers should not be accomplices to a military intervention. To defend Venezuela means to defend Latin America’s sovereignty," he tweeted.
Lamentamos que la Ayuda Humanitaria quiera ser utilizada como “caballo de Troya” en #Venezuela, para invadir y provocar una guerra. Los hermanos latinoamericanos no podemos ser cómplices de una intervención militar. Defender a Venezuela es defender la soberanía de #AméricaLatina.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro described the plan as a prelude for invasion and promised to stop the aid from entering. He is backed as the legitimate president by Russia, China, Bolivia, Mexico and several others.
