Maduro says US behind ‘assassination plot’ involving Brazil, Colombia 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseVenezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro lashed out Wednesday at what he said was a plot to assassinate him directed by the White House — and involving the right-wing governments of Colombia and Brazil. Troops were being trained in the United States and Colombia to carry out the plot, he alleged. Nobody in Brazil wants the incoming government of Jair Bolsonaro to engage in a military adventure against the people of Venezuela,” Maduro said. The Venezuelan leader had already castigated Washington in a speech on Sunday, saying it planned to carry out a coup with support from Colombia, although on that occasion he did not mention Brazil.
