"The end game for him should be to leave power and the sooner the better because his own situation is only going to decline. The longer he clings to power and the more misery there is in Venezuela. (Reporter) Where would you like to see him go? Should he remain invisible Venezuela or leave the country? (Abrams) I think it is better for the transition to democracy in Venezuela that he be outside the country. And there are a number of countries that I think would be willing to accept him. (Reporter) Which ones? (Abrams) Well, he's got friends in places like Cuba and Russia, and there are some other countries actually that have come to us privately and said they'd be willing to take members of the current illegitimate regime if it would help the transition."

"While Gauido calls for humanitarian assistance for the people of Venezuela, Maduro continues to block unhindered access to international humanitarian assistance, and denies Venezuelans the basic necessities they direly need, unless they declare loyalty to him. The U.S. government is coordinating with Guaido and his team of experts. Other governments in the region, our humanitarian partners on the logistics of deploying aid to mobilize a response efficiently and safely. We are propositioning items, relief item, food, nutritional supplements, hygiene kits, medical kits in Colombia, so that they are available to reach Venezuelans in need in their own country as soon as it is safe and logistically possible."

"I would like to state that we are imposing visa restrictions and revoking the visas of members of the illegitimate Constituent Assembly. This body has usurped many of the constitutional powers of the National Assembly, the legitimate national assembly, and embodies Maduro's destruction of democratic institutions. While I cannot name names because visa information is protected, I can state that we will continue to take action against those destroying Venezuela's democratic institutions.
+++BLACK FRAMES+++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Elliott Abrams, U.S. Special Envoy to Venezuela
"There are dire needs, and I think many people again in the Venezuelan army feel those needs for themselves and their families. So we're hopeful that, at least initial decision on the part of Maduro, can be turned around if he sees a real demand on the part of the people of Venezuela. Let it in. That's all we're asking. Let it in."

STORYLINE:
U.S. special envoy for Venezuela Elliott Abrams wants to see Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro leave the country as he cedes power to a transitional government.
Abrams tells reporters in Washington that the U.S. does not favor a specific country for Maduro to go to but notes that the embattled Venezuelan has "friends" in Cuba and Russia.
He also said Thursday that other countries that he would not name have offered to take in Maduro if he gives up power.
Abrams says the U.S. has revoked visas for unnamed members of the Venezuelan Constituent Assembly as it seeks to continue pressing Maduro to cede power to opposition-controlled National Assembly leader Juan Guaido.
The U.S. has recognized Guaido as the interim president.
Abrams comments came on a day when trucks carrying U.S. humanitarian aid destined for Venezuela arrived at the Colombian border.
Venezuela's opposition leaders vowed to bring them into their troubled nation despite objections from embattled President Nicolas Maduro.
Two semi-trailers loaded with boxed emergency food and medicine rolled into the Colombian border city of Cucuta, which is just across the river from Venezuela.
