BOGOTA, Colombia—Three U.S. military cargo planes touched down in the Colombian border city of Cúcuta on Feb. 16, carrying 180 tons of humanitarian aid for neighboring Venezuela, which continues to endure a prolonged economic, political, and social crisis.
The Air Force C-17 aircraft, which arrived from Miami, carried the second shipment of U.S. aid since Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó rejected the legitimacy of Venezuelan regime leader Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 23, invoking the constitution to declare himself interim president of the crisis-stricken nation.
