It was unclear if Dala had offered any public statements in support of Maduro, though he was not known to have defected at the time of Bolton's talk. "They committed to support ousting Maduro and it's time for them now, if the Cubans will let them do it, to fulfill their commitments," Bolton said, accusing Havana of deploying up to 25,000 security forces in support of the fellow leftist-led Venezuelan government.
