Opposition leader Juan Guaido, pictured in June 2020, believes that a Joe Biden administration in the US would still support his challenge to Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro AFP/Federico ParraCARACAS: Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido said Friday he is counting on the United States to maintain pressure on President Nicolas Maduro no matter who wins the US' November presidential election.
"Your problem is not with the White House, your problem is with the Justice Department ... you've been accused of drug trafficking and terrorism," Guaido said in an interview with Transparency International, addressing Maduro. The Trump administration was the first government to back Guaido's January 2019 claim to be Venezuela's acting president in a challenge to Maduro's authority.The National Assembly had declared Maduro a"usurper" over his 2018 re-election in a poll widely derided as fraudulent.The US has also accused Maduro of"narcoterrorism" and placed a US$15 million bounty on his head.
