After Donald Trump's failed efforts to dislodge the regime, the chaotic South American country will present Joe Biden with one of his biggest diplomatic challenges.
Caracas/London | Juan Guaido rose to his feet in the gallery of Washington’s Capitol building and waved stiffly to acknowledge cheers and applause from members of Congress as US President Donald Trump’s words rang in their ears.
“Here this evening is a very brave man who carries with him the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all Venezuelans ... the true and legitimate president of Venezuela, Juan Guaido,” said Trump. Dismissing President Nicolas Maduro as an illegitimate dictator, the US leader promised that “Maduro’s grip on tyranny will be smashed and broken”.
