Canada endorses Venezuelan opposition leader as interim president
OTTAWA — Canada joined several other countries in the Americas Wednesday in recognizing Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country’s interim president.
A statement from the Lima Group, which includes Canada and 10 Central and South American nations, expressed full support for Guaido.
The move came as Guaido declared himself interim president, just two weeks after Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a contested second term.
