EU Nations May Recognize Guaido as Venezuela Leader Amid Split

Foreign ministers from the EU’s 28 countries discussed the statement at an informal meeting in Bucharest on Thursday and Friday, and only Italy objected to the wording, according to a diplomat familiar with the matter. In recognizing Guaido, the EU nations would be following the U.S. and more than a dozen other nations, adding to pressure on Maduro to step down. The political crisis in oil-rich Venezuela has set down worldwide battle lines, with a U.S.-led group of nations that recognize Guaido as interim president facing countries such as Russia and China that support Maduro.
