Pompeo visits refugees in Brazil, pressuring Venezuela's Maduro

BRASILIA (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Venezuelan migrants at a refugee reception center in northern Brazil on Friday at the third stop of a regional tour to ramp up pressure to oust Venezuela's leftist President Nicolás Maduro.

"They want what all human beings want - dignity, they want a democratic, peaceful, sovereign Venezuela to call home, one where they and their children can find jobs and live," he said at an air base in Boa Vista, capital of Roraima state.

He blamed Maduro for a "man-made crisis" of unprecedented proportions in Venezuela and called the Venezuelan president a "drug-trafficker," in comments to reporters.

Pompeo also visited a soup kitchen serving hungry migrants with Brazilian Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo. Brazil's right-wing government two weeks ago declared Maduros's diplomats personae non gratae but stopped short of expelling them.

I wonder what will happen to these human beings when the crooks get what they want? I wonder if they will be as expendable as the Afghanis, the Kurds, and so on?
