President Trump Just REFUSED a Call From a World Leader He Doesn’t Respect!

President Trump understands the plight the people in Venezuela are suffering under President Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro requested to speak to President Trump via a phone call, which Trump promptly declined.

The White House then issued a statement, saying the President will only speak to the Maduro once democracy is restored in his country.

The Washington Times reports:

President Trump rebuffed the offer of a phone call from the president of Venezuela late Friday night, after Mr. Trump warned that he is considering military options to address civil and political unrest in the South American country.

“President Trump will gladly speak with the leader of Venezuela as soon as democracy is restored in that country,” the White House said.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro requested a phone call with Mr. Trump after Mr. Trump made a surprise statement late Friday that he’s considering unspecified military action to address what the administration is calling a “dictatorship.”

“Since the start of this administration, President Trump has asked that Maduro respect Venezuela’s constitution, hold free and fair elections, release political prisoners, cease all human rights violations, and stop oppressing Venezuela’s great people,” the White House said. “The Maduro regime has refused to heed this call, which has been echoed around the region and the world. Instead Maduro has chosen the path of dictatorship.”

The statement said the U.S. “stands with the people of Venezuela in the face of their continued oppression by the Maduro regime.”
