US special representative Elliott Abrams departed the US on Friday (Feb 22) for the Colombian city of Cucuta on a plane carrying American humanitarian aid for crisis-hit Venezuela.
[...]
Abrams told reporters at the military base the United States was sending medical supplies and enough food to feed 2,000 people for a month.
[...]
In Cucuta, Abrams will meet Colombian President Ivan Duque and his Chilean and Paraguayan counterparts, Sebastian Pinera and Mario Abdo.
[...]
Since Feb 4, the US Agency for International Development has sent five aircraft carrying 191 metric tons of supplies, including medicine for 40,000 people for 90 days, medical equipment such as wheelchairs and crutches, and food.
Maduro says the aid is a precursor for an American military intervention, while Guaido - who has been recognised as acting president by more than 50 countries - set a Saturday deadline for the aid to enter the country.

Is he there to meet with Elliott Abrams? US special forces? Ostensibly, it was to attend a "Live Aid Venezuela" concert.
Yeah, right.
