摘要:
The Trump administration formally recognized Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela on January 23, 2019, making the United States the first nation to officially accept the legitimacy of Guaido's government and reject incumbent President Nicolas Maduro's claim to the presidency. In a campaign designed to oust Maduro from power, the United States has encouraged foreign governments and intergovernmental organizations to recognize Guaido and has imposed a series of targeted economic sanctions to weaken Maduro's regime. As of June 2019, however, Maduro remained in power within Venezuela.
