Biden Gives Venezuela’s Guaidó a Ride

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó says he was threatened with deportation from Colombia on Tuesday after he crossed the border on foot. Fearing for his safety he contacted the U.S., which helped him catch a plane to Miami. It’s getting more dangerous to be an American ally.

This embarrassment comes a week after the visit by Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House. President Biden praised him for “the hospitality and support Colombia continues to show to Venezuelan refugees. It’s a humanitarian and a generous thing for you—that you’re doing.”
