Foreign involvement in the Venezuelan presidential crisis

During the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis, AP News reported that "familiar geopolitical sides" had formed, with allies Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Cuba supporting Maduro, and the US, Canada, and most of Western Europe supporting Juan Guaidó as interim president.[1][2] Amid widespread condemnation,[3][4][5] President Maduro was sworn in on 10 January 2019, and the President of the National Assembly, Guaidó, was declared the interim President by that body on 23 January 2019.[6][7] Intervention by the United States in Venezuela was criticized by allies of Nicolás Maduro and political figures from the left spectrum;[8] Maduro's government stated that the crisis was a "coup d'état led by the United States to topple him and control the country's oil reserves."[9][10][11] Guaidó denied the coup allegations, saying peaceful volunteers backed his movement.[12][13]
