Trump tells Americans not to travel to Venezuela and credits U.S. sanctions for Maduro talks - Duration: 17:39.

President Donald Trump warned Americans not to travel to Venezuela on Wednesday, echoing his State Department's warning that the country is unstable, while crediting his sanctions for dictator Nicolas Maduro's offer to negotiate

Maduro said overnight that he would be willing to sit down with opposition leader Juan Guaido and international mediators

He's refusing to bow to demands that he hold a free and fair election immediately, however

'The presidential elections in Venezuela took place, and if the imperialists want new elections, let them wait until 2025,' Maduro told Russian state-media outlet RIA

Trump in an early-morning tweet said that U.S.sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil companies changed Maduro's tune on talks

'Maduro willing to negotiate with opposition in Venezuela following U.S.sanctions and the cutting off of oil revenues,' he announced

'Guaido is being targeted by Venezuelan Supreme Court.Massive protest expected today

Americans should not travel to Venezuela until further notice.' Amid the increasing tension, the State Department warned Americans on Tuesday against traveling to the nation, which is seeing a resurgence of street protests and deaths of demonstrators, amid continuing chaos in the nation

Guaido assumed the presidency of Venezuela last week on a pledge to restore democracy, and the U

S.swiftly recognized him as the leader of the Latin American country.He is the head of the Venezuelan National Assembly, a body that Maduro has tried to totally undermine by having the democratically elected body replaced and stripped of its powers

Maduro has accused the United States of orchestrating a coup, and appealed to American citizens on social media early Wednesday morning to stop its government from interfering in the affairs of Latin America

'People of the # USA , I ask for your support to reject the interference of the Donald Trump government that intends to make of My Homeland a Vietnam in Latin America

Do not Let Him!' Maduro tweeted.He shared a direct to camera video on Twitter and Facebook, in Spanish, alongside the message in which he made a similar plea

In other messages on Tuesday and Wednesday, he shared photos of himself rallying soldiers during a military exercise, and announced on Twitter on that he'd deploying 50,000 troops to keep the peace in neighborhoods

'We have an extraordinary operational readiness, in keeping with the national defense,' he said in one

He proclaimed in another: 'I am and will be at the forefront of this battle.I count on the discipline and loyalty of the soldiers and soldiers of the Homeland

We are going to the deployment for peace, independence and sovereignty!' The Trump administration took another step to ratchet up pressure prior to Maduro's announcement, granting Guaido the ability to access the regime's frozen U

S.bank accounts.The State Department announced the move a day after the U.S.Treasury slapped sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil companies and set in place a system to freeze accounts that also could be placed under Guaido's control

Venezuela immediately hit back, with the nation's attorney general warning Guaido was not free to leave the country

We denounce the illegitimate former Venezuelan Attorney General's threats against President Juan Guaido

Let me reiterate - there will be serious consequences for those who attempt to subvert democracy and harm Guaido

Maduro also claimed Donald Trump ordered the Colombian government and mafia to assassinate him, as a mystery Russian jet landed in Venezuela this week 'to ship out gold from the central bank'

Maduro said that he has no doubt that the US President 'gave the order to Colombia to kill me' and that if something happens to him 'Donald Trump will be responsible'

Despite his hard line against Trump, Maduro said he is willing to negotiate with Guaido, who is recognized as president by the US and most Western nations as of last week

Meanwhile, a Russian chartered Boeing 777 - carrying just two crewmembers and no passengers - landed in Caracas, allegedly to carry 20 tons of gold from the Central Bank of Venezuela out of the country

That move drew yet another stern response from National Security Advisor John Bolton

'We denounce the illegitimate former Venezuelan Attorney General's threats against President Juan Guaido

Let me reiterate - there will be serious consequences for those who attempt to subvert democracy and harm Guaido,' Bolton tweeted

Under the latest U.S.policy, Guaido, who declared himself the legitimate president of the country, can access accounts maintained by the government and the nation's central bank

The move would 'protect Venezuela's patrimony from further theft by Maduro's corrupt regime,' according to the statement, calling out President Nicolas Maduro's government

'This certification will help Venezuela's legitimate government safeguard those assets for the benefit of the Venezuelan people,' it continued

Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek Saab said he had asked the Supreme Court to open a preliminary investigation into Guaido, accusing him of helping foreign countries to interfere in internal matters

He also asked the court to impose a travel ban on the 35-year-old leader and to freeze his bank accounts

Bolton responded by warning of 'serious consequences,' while state-run oil company PDVSA sought to sidestep U

S.sanctions.In another sign of support, Vice President Mike Pence met with Guaido's newly named acting Charge d'affaires Carlos Alfredo Vecchio

He said at the White House Tuesday his nation had a 'unique opportunity' now after 20 years of fighting for democracy

'We have a united opposition right now.we have a strong national assembly.and we have the democratic world backing us, supporting our agenda, so this is a unique opportunity,' he said

'This is a fight between a dictatorship, which is totally controlled by the Cuban regime, against the free world

We cannot do this alone,' he added.The sweeping sanctions on PDVSA, announced on Monday and aimed at curbing crude exports to the United States and driving Maduro from power, were the strongest measures yet against the 56-year-old former union leader who has overseen economic collapse and an exodus of millions of Venezuelans in recent years

The measures triggered higher global oil prices, angry responses from China and Russia and the first serious moves against Guaido since he challenged Maduro's claim on the presidency last week

The United States and several other countries have recognized Guaido as Venezuela's legitimate head of state and denounced Maduro as a usurper

Maduro, sworn in on Jan.10 for a second term after disputed elections last year, accuses Guaido of staging a U

S.-directed coup against him.Maduro is backed by a number of countries, including Russia

Maduro's inauguration sparked protests throughout Venezuela.Over 40 people are believed to have been killed in political violence last week, including 26 shot by pro-government forces, five killed in house raids and 11 during looting, U

N.human rights spokesman Rupert Colville said on Tuesday.He said more than 850 people were detained between Jan

21 and Jan.26, including 77 children, some as young as 12.Guaido said on Tuesday he did not underestimate the threat of imprisonment but did not believe it was 'anything new

'Many opposition leaders have been imprisoned in the South American nation.'We are here

We will keep acting and working to confront the humanitarian crisis,' Guaido told a news conference

Most experts believe the sanctions and other measures against Maduro will encourage him to step down only if he loses the support of the powerful military, which until now has been mostly loyal to the leftist ruling party founded by late President Hugo Chavez

Maduro appeared on a television broadcast from a military base on Tuesday, praising the soldiers' loyalty

As a lawmaker who heads the National Assembly, Guaido has immunity from prosecution unless ordered by a top court

However, the Supreme Court is loyal to Maduro and is expected to quickly open the investigation

The U.S.State Department said on Tuesday it had certified Guaido's authority to control certain assets held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other U

S.-insured banks, including government and central bank accounts.PDVSA responded to the sanctions by ordering customers with tankers waiting to load crude destined for the United States to prepay, according to sources

Such prepayment could be in violation of the sanctions, setting the stage for a standoff at the ports

PDVSA is also seeking to sidestep the sanctions by asking major buyers, including U

S.refiners, to renegotiate contracts, sources said.The Kremlin condemned the sanctions as illegal interference, while China said they would lead to suffering for which Washington would bear responsibility

Both countries have lent billions of dollars to Venezuela and are concerned about new stress on debt payments

International Brent crude oil futures rose over 2 percent on Tuesday in reaction.Venezuela is among the world's largest heavy crude oil producers

The new U.S.sanctions could cause problems for Venezuela when it comes to servicing its sovereign debt to Russia, which stands at $3

15 billion, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak told reporters on Tuesday

In Geneva, senior U.S.and Venezuelan diplomats traded jibes at a disarmament conference

Venezuela's ambassador, Jorge Valero, said the administration of U.S.President Donald Trump was preparing a 'military invasion' and questioned whether Washington had the moral authority to 'impose a diktat' on Caracas

Venezuela has sunk into economic and political turmoil under Maduro's socialist government, with inflation seen rising to 10 million percent this year

The loss of revenue from the United States, the No.1 buyer of Venezuelan crude, is sure to further hamper the government's ability to import basic goods like food and medicine, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis that has prompted more than 3 million people to leave the country in recent years

'Sanctions on Venezuela will lead to the deterioration of conditions of people's lives,' Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a news briefing in Beijing

U.S. House proposes bill to stall U.S. pullout from S. Korea - Duration: 2:22.

lawmakers in the US House of Representatives have proposed a bill to

send a message to North Korean leader Kim jong-un before his next summit with

President Trump our Park Jiwon has more a bipartisan

group of eight US lawmakers proposed a bill on Wednesday aiming to preemptively

stop the trim administration from withdrawing US forces from South Korea

the bill titled the United States and Republic of Korea lines the port app

lays out stricter conditions that would have to be met to justify a withdrawal

something that could tip the balance of power in Northeast Asia the bill says if

the administration decides to reduce the number of US troops to below 22,000 the

Secretary of Defense must report to both the House and the Senate the expected

impact on North Korea as well as the expected military and economic impacts

on US relations with both South Korea and Japan the bill also requires the

Secretary of Defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Joley

certify to the relevant congressional committees the South Korea is fully

capable of defending itself and of deterring any military conflict on the

peninsula they would threaten US interests the lawmakers apparently made

the decision in view of the next summit between the North Korean and American

leaders tentatively scheduled for next month we think it's important to

establish before the next meeting between president Trump and Kim jong-un

that the United States is not about to leave South Korea at least not before

there's transformational progress on the Korean Peninsula our presence there has

prevented war for more than 60 years it would be reckless we think to abandon

this commitment on the basis of paper promises from the North Koreans while

they continue to threaten the region with both nuclear and conventional

weapons the bills released came a day after a top US intelligence official

testified to Congress that North Korea's complete denuclearization seems unlikely

president Trump has also hinted in the past and

Simo Dimitrov for the US-Mexico border wall - Duration: 3:08.

All these people

who denigrate Donald Trump

and say terrible things about the wall

must stop for a moment

and think about it.

Let's start from the fact

that they call it "Trump's wall".

This is not the Trump's wall.

This is the wall of all American citizens.

And America needs that wall!

Some people call it immoral

and even ineffective.

And they are totally wrong.

The wall isn't immoral

because its purpose isn't to stop the Mexicans

to come in the United States.

They still will be able to enter the US,

but it must happen legally.

It's absolutely wrong people without documents

to invade the United States,

to bring here so much drugs

and to steal so much money

and all this happens so easy –

they just pass through a huge empty field

without any borders.

If it's immoral to stop this,

so what do you say about the walls

around Nancy Pelosi's house

or Hillary Clinton's house?

Are they immoral?

And, by the way, why do you think that they are built?

Because just like Nancy and Hillary,

every single person doesn't want any stranger

to enter his home without his knowledge.

At first glance it maybe looks very simple,

but the wall is a perfectly working solution.

Building a physical border

is absolutely normal thing.

And it's solution which has been used

for thousands of years from great

countries like China, Austria, Russia,

Hungary, Greece and so many others.

There are lots of bad people

who come from Mexico – people who are dirty,

infected, harmful, and they carry weapons

and drugs and hundreds of other illegal wares.

I don't believe that anyone would deny that.

If someone denies it, he is credulous and foolish.

We can no longer look through rose-colored glasses.

The world is full of crimes, and many of them

are happening in the United States.

Do not understand the idea for the wall wrong –

of course there are many good people in South America.

Not just good, there are some fantastic people

who are smart and educated, but they will not have

any problems to come in the United States legally

after showing their documents.

It would even be great new people

to come in the United States.

America is an incredible country, which is made up

exactly by people from all over the world.

This is the idea of the United States

and neither Trump nor anybody wants to destroy it.

But let's continue developing this amazing country

without drugs and crime.

Let's solve this huge problem once and for all.

And let's make America great again!

US NEWS | Michael Bloomberg says 2020 presidential rival Kamala Harris Medicare for all would bankru

Michael Bloomberg has claimed Sen. Kamala Harris plan to abolish private health insurance in favor of Medicare for all would bankrupt the country.

The former mayor who is considering running for the Democratic presidential nomination rejected the idea endorsed by his 2020 rival, which is gaining traction in the party.

I think you could never afford that. Youre talking about trillions of dollars, Mr Bloomberg said during a political swing in New Hampshire, where the nations first primary will be held next year.

Michael Bloomberg pictured at a political swing in New Hampshire yesterday has claimed abolishing private health insurance in favor of Medicare for all would bankrupt the country

The former New York City mayor whos considering running for the 2020 presidential election said the move would cost trillions of dollars. He proposed providing it only to those currently uninsured

I think you can have "Medicare for all" for people that are uncovered, but to replace the entire private system where companies provide health care for their employees would bankrupt us for a very long time.

While Bloomberg is considering running on a centrist position, Harris carved out a liberal platform on Monday night, telling an audience of Iowa Democrats that the United States should eliminate all private plans and move everyone to a single payer system.

We need to have Medicare for all. Thats just the bottom line, Harris said during a CNN town hall event, declaring that she feels very strongly about it.

The idea is that everyone gets access to medical care, and you dont have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require, she explained, concluding that private insurers should not be part of the system.

Senator Kamala Harris of California made her first town hall appearance as a Democratic presidential candidate on Monday, saying she wants to abolish private health insurance

Harris spoke with reporters at Drake University on Monday night after the town hall event, hosted by CNNs Jake Tapper

Lets eliminate all of that. Lets move on, said Harris.

Republicans were quick to mock what they typically call socialized medicine, something that has become more mainstream in the Democratic party since the early part of the 2016 presidential campaign cycle.

GOP spokesman Michael Ahrens tweeted a dig at Harris that also doubled as a jab at former president Barack Obamas frequent promises about his namesake health law.

Dems in 2009: If you like your plan, you can keep it, Ahrens mocked. Dems in 2019: If you like your plan, were eliminating it.

Harris is advocating a Medicare for all platform that would put government agencies in charge of health coverage; thats an approach that goes further than the Obamacare system, and had Bernie Sanders as its main advocate in 2016

Harris also defended other positions she took as Californias attorney general that are unpopular with some Democrats, saying at the Drake University event in Des Moines that they reflected her duty as the states top law enforcement officer.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked her about prosecuting death penalty cases, and about legislation requiring her office to investigate all fatal police related shootings.

Harris, who was attorney general from 2011 until she became a U.S. senator in 2017, said she enforced the death penalty despite opposing it.

WHO PAYS AND HOW

Each of the 13 provincial or territorial governments provides insurance called Medicare which can be used universally, with doctors or other providers billing the government insurance scheme for treatment. Almost all hospitals are public bodies paid for out of taxation, with almost all care delivered in them paid for from general taxation. Medicare does not cover prescription drugs, dentistry, ambulance costs and long term care and private health insurance is generally used to pay for them.

BY NUMBERS 2017

Health care spending per capita: dollar 4,826

Percentage of GDP spent on healthcare: 10.5 percent

Percentage of healthcare spending by government: 70.5 percent

Life expectancy: 81.9

Infant mortality deaths per thousands before age of one : 4.5

WHAT SUPPORTERS SAY

Income is not a factor in the quality of treatment; prescription drugs costs are far lower than in the U.S.; user fees are minimal

WHAT CRITICS SAY

Wait times are used to ration care; mental health care is badly underfunded; innovation is not rewarded; other countries have more cost effective systems

UNITED KINGDOM

WHO PAYS AND HOW: National Health Service NHS is free at the point of access throughout the UK for primary, hospital and outpatient care. It is funded from general taxation and regulated by the UK government. Prescription drugs are covered with a copay of dollar 11.50 in England and are free in the rest of the UK; other co pays are rare. Subsidized dental care is available but supply is less than demand. Private health insurance or paying out of pocket can be used to pay for non emergency care and elective procedures. Long term care is broadly not covered by the NHS.

BY NUMBERS 2017

Health care spending per capita: dollar 4,246

Percentage of GDP spent on healthcare: 9.7 percent

Percentage of healthcare spending by government: 79.4 percent

Life expectancy: 80.8

Infant mortality deaths per thousands before age of one : 4.3

WHAT SUPPORTERS SAY

UK: Income is not a factor in the quality of treatment; healthcare is not a cost factor for businesses; the NHS has huge popular support

WHAT CRITICS SAY

UK: Care is rationed by waiting time and shortages; health outcomes vary radically from area to area; innovation in treatment is not incentived; some patients abuse the system because they are financially engaged in it; political rather than rational decisions affect the quality and availability of care; the current system is going to be unable to cope with growing demand due to an aging population

WHO PAYS AND HOW

Hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers bill insurance companies or providers for care of those with insurance. Private insurance by employers covers almost 50 per cent of Americans. Those over 65 are insured additionally through Medicare which is a combination of federal and state spending. Medicaid provides insurance for some on low incomes or with limited resources, 76 million in 2016. Most healthcare comes with co payments or deductibles regardless of insurance provision. Provision varies from state to state. Long term care is covered for some by Medicaid. Military and veterans, and their dependents, have their own free at point of access healthcare funded from general federal taxation.

BY THE NUMBERS 2017

Health care spending per capita: dollar 10,224

Percentage of GDP spent on healthcare: 17.3 percent

Percentage of all healthcare spending by government: 64.7 percent

Life expectancy: 80.0

Infant mortality: deaths per 1,000 before age one: 5.8

WHAT SUPPORTERS SAY

More effective treatments are incentived by letting people choose where they are treated; innovation is financially rewarded for individuals and institutions; U.S. hospitals pull in the best talent from around the world and draw in foreign cash for treatment

WHAT CRITICS SAY

Millions live without insurance; millions more cannot afford co pays for treatment or drugs; healthcare costs are a leading cause of personal bankruptcy; health outcomes are closely linked to income; healthcare is a high cost for private companies; government is already spending more than other advanced countries per capita with less to show for it
