Cuba warns of U.S. military intervention in Venezuela on humanitarian pretext

Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speaks during a press conference in Havana, Cuba, Feb. 19, 2019. Bruno Rodriguez has warned that Washington is planning a military intervention in Venezuela on the pretext of delivering humanitarian aid. Rodriguez said that Washington is following a "script" that "has been previously used in other parts of the world, with severe consequences," repeating recent warnings by Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel of the "economic, military, social and humanitarian consequences of a U.S. military venture" and its destabilizing effect on all of Latin America.
