The State Department expressed support Saturday for an opposition party’s bid to replace Nicolás Maduro as Venezuela’s leader, declaring Maduro’s government illegitimate.
A statement from the agency’s deputy spokesman, Robert Palladino, encouraged the Venezuelan General Assembly’s president, Juan Guaidó, who on Friday told supporters outside the legislature he was prepared to invoke the country’s constitution to remove Maduro and serve as interim president.
