Reacting to the incident, The Venezuela President described the apprehended men as ‘terrorist mercenaries’ and fingered the attacks on President Donald Trump’s administration, Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaidó and neighbouring Colombia. Although they have all protested against their involvement.

The two U.S former soldiers: Luke Denman, 34, and Airan Berry, 41, were identified by President Maduro in a press conference as he showed their forms of identification; and their passports.

Recall that the U.S. has led a campaign to oust Maduro, indicting the socialist leader as a narco-trafficker and offering a $15 million reward for his arrest in March.

In a similar vein, this leading platform gathered that those behind the removal of Maduro led gave hands to support Guaidó by using those mercenaries to unseat him as the Venezuela number citizen.

According to Dailymail, Goudreau is a former associate of Keith Schiller, Donald Trump’s bodyguard. He was accompanied by Schiller to a meeting last May to discuss security with representatives of Guaidó.

Kraft allegedly lured prospective donors with the promise of preferential access to negotiate deals in the energy and mining sectors with an eventual Guaidó government.

Meanwhile, Venezuela opposition leader, Guaidó has denied his ‘relationship nor responsibility for any actions’ taken by Goudreau, and that President Maduro is using the incident as a distraction.
