Venezuela previously said it had prevented a naval invasion of Colombian militants. As President Nicolas Maduro noted, the purpose of such an operation was to kill him.
According to the President of the Bolivarian Republic, among the detained participants in the armed attack are two US citizens, whom he called the personal guard of the American leader.
The media wrote that Jordan Goodro, a former "green beret" from the United States, who founded Silvercorp USA, a private security company, is associated with an attempt to invade Venezuela. About him and other participants in the operation in his publication on Twitter, talking about the invasion of Venezuela, wrote RT correspondent Ortega.
“Mercenaries are paid for their work. But I’m happy to do this work for free to rid the world of Maduro bedding like you, ”Silvercorp USA said in a reply.
Former American commandos threatened to kill our journalist.
Erica Ortega, a RT correspondent in Venezuela, tweeted about the invasion of US mercenaries and their attempted coup.
The Russian Embassy in the United States, in response to the same Silvercorp USA Facebook post, said it saw “a clear threat to RT journalist.”
Russian diplomats also noted that American authorities and human rights defenders "remain silent," apparently continuing to "celebrate World Press Freedom Day."
