Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro continues to insist on his victory and resist international pressure to step down and hand victory to the opposition candidate.
Argentinian President Javier Milei has emerged as a powerful ally of the Venezuelan anti-government protests as international pressure mounts to award the recent presidential election to the opposition. Leaders from around the world, including the U.S., have cast doubt on Nicolas Maduro's claim that he won the election, and protesters have clashed with police in the streets of the embattled South American nation.
Maduro lashed out at Milei earlier this week, taking several shots at the Argentinian. He referenced Milei’s 'monster face' and called him 'an ugly guy, too, and stupid.' He also labeled Milei a 'Nazi, fascist guy' who demanded to know how anyone could take a 'guy like that seriously,' according to the Buenos Aires Herald. He also called Milei a 'cowardly bug' and a 'traitor to the homeland.
