Maduro asks Trump if he wants ’a Vietnam in Latin America’

Venezuela’s embattled leader, Nicolás Maduro, has warned Donald Trump he will leave the White House ’stained with blood’ if he pursues the idea of military intervention. He urges Trump to show respect and asks if he plans to ’repeat a Vietnam in Latin America’. Maduro also sent a message to opposition challenger Juan Guaidó, who declared himself Venezuela’s legitimate interim president on 23 January, saying he ’shouldn’t hurt the country any more, he should stop this coup-mongering strategy’.
