| The President of the United States, Donald #Trump, received Nayib #Bukele,     |
| President of El Salvador, at the White House and they discussed some issues    |
| related to #Venezuela. Donald Trump mentioned that “Something terrible         |
| happened. We had a government that allowed free entry of people into our       |
| country, from all over the world, they came from the #gangs in Venezuela. It   |
| is a sin what they did, and you (El Salvador) are helping us, and we           |
| appreciate it." When referring to Maduro's #regime, the US president asserted  |
| that “They don't have a penny, we cut off their #oil (...) they know what they |
| have to do."                                                                   |

| increasingly erratic and losing influence, so they are dedicated to            |
| threatening the territorial integrity of #Guyana, which “will not be           |

| Kristi #Noem, U.S. Secretary of #Homeland #Security, visited this Wednesday    |
| afternoon the maximum security prison in #ElSalvador, where more than 200      |
| Venezuelan #migrants are being held. Noem, who arrived shortly before in that  |
| country on an official visit, toured the #Terrorism Confinement Center #Cecot  |
| accompanied by a strong security device and began her tour in the admission    |
| area of the inmates where they pass through a scanner, then she went to the    |
| warehouse and armory area and later moved to cell 8, where some of the alleged |
| members of the Aragua Train from Venezuela were detained. Noem also sent a     |
| message through her social networks where she expressed that President #Trump  |
| and she had a clear message for criminal illegal immigrants “Leave now (...)   |
| If you don't leave, we will #hunt you down, we will #arrest you and you could  |
| end up in this Salvadoran prison.”                                             |

| Panama's President to meet with Gustavo Petro and discuss Venezuelan migrants  |
|                                                                                |
| President José Raúl #Mulino spoke about the visit of Gustavo #Petro, scheduled |
| for tomorrow, and details the key issues that will be addressed during their   |
| meeting. Mulino highlighted in his statement that “I feel positivism in that   |
| conversation and I also believe that it is in Colombia's interest to have      |
| those agreements with #Panama. We ask for them because we do not have any kind |
| of contact or relationship with #Venezuela. And they are documented            |
| Venezuelans. They are not Venezuelans arriving without passports, without      |
| anything. They have travel documents, identification documents. And what we    |
| are asking is that Panama be allowed to take them to #Cúcuta, which is a       |
| #border area with #Venezuela, so that from there the Venezuelan authorities    |
| can do what corresponds to allow them to enter their country, because they are |
| not entering a third country, they are back in their country.”                 |

| “I want to be frank, and I have said it during my time as a senator, and I     |
| have full confidence in saying it now as Secretary of State. #Adventurism will |
| have #consequences. There will be consequences for #aggressive actions. And    |
| that's why our partnership in that regard will be important. It's not what we  |
| want to be a feature of our relationship. But it is a necessity of our         |
| relationship because you have a very difficult challenge on your hands with a  |
| dictator who is making #illegitimate #territorial #claims. So you have our     |
| full commitment and support. We're demonstrating that today in a tangible way, |
| and we're going to look for ways to do that in the long term and in a          |
| sustainable way, to make it very clear that we are committed, both as a nation |

| Venezuela's heavy #crude loading at its main #oil ports #slowed this week      |
| after the United States imposed a tariff on trade with countries buying the    |
| South American nation's oil and #producer #Chevron began reducing its tanker   |
| fleet. As of Tuesday, Venezuela's main oil port Jose, operated by state-owned  |
| #PDVSA, had an empty dock while three supertankers were loading, according to  |
| ship monitoring services TankerTrackers.com and LSEG and a company document.   |
| No tankers were loading for exports at Bajo Grande, which handles shipments of |
| the heavier crude grades, the data showed. About two dozen vessels, mostly     |
| #supertankers, were waiting to load around Jose, while two remained in         |
| Venezuelan waters after completing their cargoes, TankerTrackers.com said,     |
| adding that two ships left the country empty since mid-February.               |
