Trump says Venezuela is being run by a dictator

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Venezuela is being run by a dictator, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday, without mentioning Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro by name.

“I know it very well, and Venezuela is right now being run by a dictator,” Trump said in an interview on the Kick livestreaming platform.

Following a July 28 election, Venezuela’s electoral council has declared President Maduro, in power since 2013, the winner with 51% of the vote, sparking immediate accusations of fraud by the opposition.

The opposition says its own detailed tally shows opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez likely received 67% of the vote.
