Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 01:03

TL;DR

President Donald Trump addressed US aid to Venezuela following the earthquake, stating the United States is assisting the country and that the two nations maintain 'very good relations,' according to a report.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump said the United States is providing aid to Venezuela after the earthquake and described US-Venezuela relations as 'very good.' The remarks, reported on Saturday morning, align with a series of US assistance pledges in recent days: on June 25 the US pledged $150 million in aid, on June 26 the US military deployed warships and aircraft for logistical support, and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a corporate donation. Trump's characterization of bilateral relations as 'very good' is notable given past tensions between the two governments. No specific details on the scope or timing of the current assistance were provided.
