Bolton reveals plan for the Venezuela crisis: 5,000 American soldiers sent to Colombia

John Bolton, American President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser Donald Trump, has presented during a news conference at the White House, some confidential notes from his bloc, which reportedly in case of escalation of tennis in Venezuela, the US will send about 5,000 soldiers to Colombia.

During this conference, when he announced sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry, Bolton kept his notes in the direction of cameras, tops and photographed by the media present.

It was written two sentences: “Afganistan, welcoming talks” and “5 thousand Colombia” troops.

Pentagon officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, said the Department of Defence had not received any orders for this purpose.

In questions about Bolton's bloc, the White House noted President Trump's statements that “all options are on the table” concerning Venezuela. Tensions between the latter and the US, which are such for many years, have gone to crisis levels last week after Trump recognised the opposition Juan Guaido, as Venezuelan president.
