Pompeo disgusted by support in Britain and U.S. for Venezuela's Maduro
LONDON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday he was disgusted to see politicians in Britain, as well as in the United States, continue to support Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
"It is disgusting to see leaders in not only the United Kingdom but in the United States as well who continue to support the murderous dictator Maduro," Pompeo said at a news conference in London. A Labour spokeswoman said the party's position on Venezuela was to call for no foreign interference in the country.
The leftist Venezuelan president has faced pressure to quit since taking office for a second term. Opposition leader Juan Guaido, calling Maduro's 2018 re-election fraudulent, invoked the constitution in January to assume an interim presidency and has been recognized by the United States and most other Western nations as Venezuela's legitimate leader.
