KUMARAKAPAY, Venezuela/CUCUTA, Colombia—Venezuelan soldiers opened fire on members of an indigenous community near the border with Brazil on Feb. 22, killing at least one and injuring others, as President Nicolas Maduro defied U.S.-backed efforts to bring aid into his economically devastated nation.
The United States, which is among dozens of Western nations to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s legitimate president, has been stockpiling aid in the Colombian frontier town of Cucuta to ship across the border this weekend.
