Venezuela in crisis: All the latest updates


https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/01/venezuela-crisis-latest-updates-190123205835912.html


Venezuela has plunged into a major political crisis amid a growing row over President Nicolas Maduro's future as the country's leader. 

Maduro started a second term on January 10, following a widely boycotted election last year that many foreign governments refused to recognise.

On January 23, Juan Guaido, leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, declared himself interim president.

Shortly after Guaido took an oath swearing himself in, US President Donald Trump publicly recognised him as the country's leader. 

Maduro accused Guaido of staging a coup and ordered his arrest.
