In early February, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson embarked on a Latin America tour aimed at promoting "democratic security". But just before he set off on his trip, he speculated on the possibility of a military coup in Venezuela.

Tillerson's comments came six months after US President Donald Trump threatened military action in Venezuela.
