Venezuela's Maduro orders revision of diplomatic relations with U.S.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Tuesday he had ordered a “revision” of diplomatic relations with the United States and would announce new measures in the next few hours.

Maduro was responding to comments made earlier on Tuesday by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who gave his support to Venezuela’s opposition and called Maduro a “dictator with no legitimate claim to power.”

Question is, who gets the "er"...tRump and Pence or Maduro. Tough call.

2. No fan of Pence or the Orange Orangutan.

But Maduro needs to go.

Maduro was hat in hand, begging for an audience with Trump last week. The writing is on the wall.

Tomorrow is a big day in Venezuela
