Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro vowed on Friday not to let in “fake” aid from the United States requested by opposition leader Juan Guaido, which is being stockpiled at the border with Colombia. “Venezuela won’t allow the spectacle of fake humanitarian aid because we’re no-one’s beggars,” Maduro said at a press conference in Caracas. Meeting in Uruguay’s capital Montevideo, the International Contact Group had urged “free, transparent and credible presidential elections” in crisis-wracked Venezuela “as soon as possible” to find a peaceful solution to the power struggle between Maduro and Guaido.
