US pushes for Venezuela to be suspended from OAS

The political crisis in Venezuela dominated the opening exchanges of the annual meeting of the Organization of American States on Monday, with Washington pushing for it to be suspended. President Nicolas Maduro's government has already declared it will leave the forum, but US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged members to register a protest against last month's elections. Maduro was returned to power in a vote that was largely boycotted by the opposition and denounced as an unconstitutional assault on democracy by Washington and most of Venezuela's neighbors.
