Note how the left never called for aid to Venezuelans...they're only concern is the socialist dream.

Military planes carrying 180 tons of aid for Venezuelans fly from Miami to Colombia







A shipment of humanitarian aid by the United States that flew out of Miami landed in this Colombian border city on Saturday as part of efforts in response to the humanitarian crisis in neighboring Venezuela. 
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State coordinated the shipment, which was transported on three military planes from an air base in Homestead. The C-17 planes arrived in Cúcuta in afternoon, where they were met by USAID Administrator Mark Green and representatives appointed Venezuelan leader Juan Guaidó, the president of the National Assembly who is now recognized as interim president by the U.S. and nearly to 60 other countries.
Trump plans to address the Venezuelan crisis during a gathering in Miami on Monday.
The three planes carried around 180 tons of aid. Flights will continue next week, Steve Olive, assistant administrator for Latin America at USAID, told el Nuevo Herald. An el Nuevo Herald reporter was one of only a handful of journalists who accompanied the flight.

USAID officials are coordinating daily with Guaidó’s team and relying on them to identify groups inside Venezuela that could distribute the aid to those in need. But so far, he said, there’s fear among these groups that they could be targeted by the Maduro regime.
