Last Wednesday President Trump stated the opposition leader, Juan Guaido as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. This came as a shock as the current President Maduro was inaugurated for a second term two weeks ago. Under Maduro, the country has suffered incredible hardships. Tired of no food or any other basic necessities, the people have risen up and the opposition has declared that election not valid. Trump's decision came about after monitoring the protests. Vice President Pence has gone further to state the people, and not Maduro, have the "unwavering support of the United States". Now we must wait to see Maduro's reaction. Maduro still has the army behind him.
