US Military Says Venezuela's Maduro 'Increasingly Isolated'

Jeff Seldin

   Information from Reuters was used in this report.

   A top U.S. military commander says embattled Venezuelan President
   Nicolas Maduro is slowly but surely losing his grip on power, forced to
   rely on countries like Cuba and Russia, and even on drug cartels, to
   stay in office.

   "Isolation is working," the commander of U.S. Southern Command, Admiral
   Craig Faller, told reporters in Washington Friday, referring to
   international economic sanctions aimed at forcing Maduro to step down.
