‘The definitive end of usurpation began today’: Tear gas fired at Venezuela’s Guaido after he claims army's support
CARACAS - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Tuesday called for a military uprising to oust President Nicolas Maduro and armed factions clashed at a protest outside a Caracas air base as the country hit a new crisis point.
Security forces earlier had fired tear gas at Guaido as hundreds of civilians had joined the group, the witnesses said. The United States is among some 50 countries that recognize Guaido as Venezuela’s president, and has imposed sanctions to try to dislodge Maduro.See more stories Conservative Republicans in Washington welcomed the reports from Venezuela. Senator Marco Rubio, who has worked on Venezuela policy with the Trump administration, took to Twitter to urge Venezuelans to take to the streets: “Do not allow this moment to slip away. It may not come again,” he said.
