CARACAS - The United States is not seeking a military intervention as a solution to the economic and political crisis in Venezuela, the U.S. envoy to the troubled South American nation said in an interview published by a Venezuelan online news site on Sunday.

The United States on Wednesday opened a representative office called the Venezuela Affairs Unit , based in Colombia, to provide U.S. diplomatic representation to Guaido’s interim government and to continue pressuring for a transition. Guaido, president of the opposition-run congress, in January invoked the constitution to assume a rival interim presidency and was quickly recognized by more than 50 countries.

“There are Russian military officers in the country ... and we know that there are a lot of Cuban military officers,” he said. “Why? Because they want Maduro to stay.”
