In a panel discussion at the Aspen Security Forum 2017, that took place in Aspen Colorado on July 20, Mike Pompeo the Director of the CIA admitted to meeting and directing the governments of Mexico and Colombia towards helping in the plans to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nicholas Maduro.
MS Neumann (from Asymmetrica): I am a dual America and Venezuelan citizen. So here goes my question, because we’re not covering anything about Western Hemisphere in this forum. Obviously Maduro in Venezuela regime change looks to be, we hope imminent or spiraling down until we either becomeCuba in two weeks time or — and die forever or there’s achange in 60 to 90 days. I’m interested in your open assessment on American interests in or threats from Venezuela and which of course has Russian, Iranian et cetera interests and — for the region. Thank you, sir.
