Canada to host regional leaders for Venezuela crisis talks

Canada will host an "urgent meeting" of the Lima Group on the Venezuela crisis on February 4 in Ottawa, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday. The bloc of 14 nations -- Latin American powers and Canada -- will "discuss the steps we can take to support (opposition leader) Juan Guaido and the people of Venezuela," she said. Most of the Lima Group has urged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down as his country sinks further into economic and political crisis, suffering shortages of food and medicine, and skyrocketing inflation.
