Shipments of U.S. aid destined for Venezuela are piling up in Cúcuta, Colombia, this weekend the U.S. military used C-17 cargo planes to bring in an estimated 200 tons of cargo. The aid in the border town has become a symbol of the legitimacy showdown between embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, and his challenger, Juan Guaidó. The tensions are likely to come to a head next Saturday, when the Venezuelan opposition is planning to lead thousands of protesters dressed in white to confront the military on the border and bring the aid in somehow.
