During a radio interview, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said he is working with the US government to sow dissent within the Venezuelan Army in order to incite a military revolt against Venezuelan President Maduro. He said, "It is our intention and that of the Americans that there is a rift in the army, because it is they who still support Maduro. It is the armed forces that decide whether a country lives in a democracy or in a dictatorship." The US has been using strong arm tactics against Caracas, choking the Venezuelan economy with new sanctions.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Monday he is working with the U.S. government to sow dissent within the Venezuelan Army.

Bolsonaro, during an interview with Jovem Pan radio, said that if there is a military invasion in Venezuela, he would ask seek the counsel of Brazil's National Defense Council and Congress on what, if any, action his country should take.

"We cannot allow Venezuela to become a new Cuba or North Korea," the right-wing president said.
