Trump posted a message on Twitter about the alleged Russian drawdown while on a state visit to London but did not provide any further details.
The Trump administration, which backs opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country’s legitimate interim president, has insisted that Russian and Cuban support for Maduro has been essential to keeping him in power and has called for them to withdraw security personnel.
