"I have no doubt in President Trump, and in the message that he is sending directly to the heart of those who financed the coup d'état perpetrated by the dictatorship on July 28, 2024 (the disputed re-election of Maduro)," he said.

Guaidó warned that it was also time to confront Western despots who "usurp" power, such as in Cuba and Nicaragua, and warn them that they "will not have impunity."
