Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Florida this Friday to meet with the Venezuelan community in the city of Doral and give a speech about the government’s support to the people of Venezuela “in their fight for freedom”.
Pence will travel with his wife, Karen, and both will focus their activities at the Doral Jesus Worship Center church in that locality, where a large community of immigrants from the Latin American country resides.
In that temple, “the vice president will participate in a round table with Venezuelan exiles and community leaders, including families, political prisoners and former elected officials who were forced to leave their country due to political persecution,” a source in the White House reported.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart, both representatives of Florida and of Cuban origin, as well as the US ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Carlos Trujillo, will also attend the event in the church of Doral.
Also there will be the governor of Florida, the Republican Ron DeSantis, who will receive Pence and his wife upon their arrival at the Miami International Airport.
President Donald Trump’s administration was the first to recognize Guaidó as president in charge of Venezuela; and in response, Nicolás Maduro cut diplomatic relations with Washington.
Guaidó was sworn in as president of Venezuela on January 23, invoking two articles of the Venezuelan Constitution, and considering illegitimate the inauguration of Maduro on January 10 as the result of elections held in May and questioned by the international community for illegitimate and fraudulent.
