Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido spoke to some of his supporters at a rally in Caracas on Wednesday, April 10, telling them the "usurpation" would soon be over.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence called on the United Nations on Wednesday to "stand up for democracy" and recognize Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as that country's legitimate leader.
"While other international bodies have acted, the United Nations and this Security Council have refused to act," Pence told a meeting of the U.N. Security Council called by the United States.
"But now that nations across this hemisphere have spoken, the time has come for the United Nations to recognize interim president Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela and seat his representative in this body," Pence added. "This body should revoke the credentials of Venezuela's representative to the United Nations, recognize interim president Juan Guaido, and seat the representative of the free Venezuelan government in this body without delay."
