MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Senator Rick Scott held a discussion with the Venezuelan community and the wife of interim president Juan Guaidó's chief of staff.

The event was held Monday morning at the "Las Vegas Restaurant" on NW 53rd Street in Doral.

Scott was in town to show US support for Guaidó and what he is doing to help the South American country.
