“The days of socialism and communism are numbered, not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and Cuba as well," Trump told a crowd gathered in Miami.
“In Venezuela and across the western hemisphere, socialism is dying, and liberty, prosperity and democracy are being reborn.”
Trump's speech was in support of Venezuelan National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó's attempt to remove current President Nicolas Maduro from power.
The U.S. is one of several countries to recognize Guaidó as the official president in Caracas, and Trump lauded his efforts during the speech, calling for Maduro's backers in the Venezuelan military to abandon the government.
