The Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido has outlined his plan to fracture support for President Nicolas Maduro by organizing a huge humanitarian aid distribution operation across Venezuela. Mr. Guaido said he had recruited over six hundred thousand volunteers who would carry the aid from border crossings next Saturday. Food and medicine has been arriving in US military transport planes at the Colombian border town of Cucuta. A representative of Mr. Guaido's interim government Lester Toledo spoke supplies were being unloaded. The most important thing is that the day is close when the doors at the Colombia-Venezuela border will open, so that only meters from here, not only humanitarian aid will go through, not only medical supplies, not only food for our people who don't have any will go through, but also freedom.

The acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said he is not yet determined whether a border wall with Mexico is a military necessity or how much Pentagon money would be used for building it.

The International Court of Justice is hearing a case in the dispute.
