Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced on Wednesday that the country has cut off diplomatic relations with the United States, giving U.S. diplomats 72 hours to leave the country.
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself as the nation's "interim president," earlier on Wednesday, cheered on by a growing number of international governments, including the Trump administration.
As a result of the United States' support for Guaido, Maduro made the unilateral decision to cut off diplomatic relations with the United States.
Venezuela's incumbent President Maduro was elected last year with 67.84 percent of the votes, and he was sworn in as president on Jan. 10 for another six-year term, however, many are calling the election results a sham.
The U.S. and its allies have refused to recognize Maduro. Trump said in a statement issued by the White House that the United States would continue to use economic and diplomatic power to press for "the restoration of Venezuelan democracy."
Also on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reiterated in a statement that the United States would cooperate with other members of the international community to deal with the situation in Venezuela.
