U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with Venezuelan migrants in Brazil this week, U.S. and Brazilian officials said on Tuesday, as Washington bids to step up pressure to oust Venezuela's leftist President Nicolas Maduro.

The whirlwind visit to Venezuela’s neighbors comes as international efforts to advance democratic change in the country appear to have stalled and Maduro has asserted his grip on power despite political and economic upheaval that drove 5 million Venezuelans to flee. “They will talk about the Venezuelan refugees who have been so badly treated in their country,” U.S. ambassador to Brazil, Todd Chapman, said on CNN Brasil. “It is time for the illegitimate Maduro regime to go,” he added, praising Brazil’s humanitarian effort in receiving 250,000 Venezuelans.
