According to ABC News.GO, during the 61st anniversary of their uprising against a dictator, U.S. President Donald Trump declared Nicolas Maduro’s presidency “illegitimate,” and recognized the opposition leader as the President.
He encouraged other Western Hemisphere countries to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president. Countries are joining with Trump, one by one.
As this is going on, La Guaido has assumed the presidency and the people are in the streets.

The President says all options are on the table. That’s alarming! No wars, please!
The citizens of Venezuela have suffered for too long at the hands of the illegitimate Maduro regime. Today, I have officially recognized the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela. https://t.co/WItWPiG9jK

MADURO BREAKS OFF RELATIONS
President Nicolás Maduro isn’t leaving quietly and has broken off relations with the U.S. He ordered all U.S. diplomats out of the country within 72 hours.
“Before the people and nations of the world, and as constitutional president … I’ve decided to break diplomatic and political relations with the imperialist U.S. government,” Maduro said while speaking with supporters Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.
However, interim President LaGuaido has asked the US to remain.
Senator Rubio said Maduro no longer has the authority and the U.S. should not comply.
Maduro has no legal authority to end relations with the U.S. or expel our diplomats. Legal authority rests with President @jguaido who has asked the U.S. & other nations to stay in #Venezuela. The U.S. should not comply with this illegitimate demand. https://t.co/FGuameaeVS

Some are misportraying the U.S. role, but Rubio is trying to get the truth out.
Some U.S. media outlets portraying recognition of President @jguaido of #Venezuela as some unilateral American action.
At least 13 other nations have done the same:
Argentina
Brazil
Canada
Chile
Colombia
Costa Rica
Ecuador
France
Guatemala
Honduras
Paraguay
Panama

VENEZUELANS TAKE TO THE STREETS
This is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s dream economy, but she’s too dense to make the connection. Inflation is over 1 million percent.
Hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in Venezuela to protest the oppressive, violent, economy killing socialism that people like @AOC so desperately want’s to impose on America.
This is a dangerous lesson from our neighbors in South America:

“California” Collapses…..etc….
Trump opposes a communist dictator in Venezuela who has been thrown out.
Ten years ago Barry & Hillary supported a communist dictator in Honduras who had been thrown out.
This is the outcome the new Democrats have planned for us, pay close attention America, especially young people.
