US Calls on UN to Recognise Guaido As Venezuela's President

US Vice President Mike Pence asked the United Nations on Wednesday to revoke the UN credentials of the government of Nicolas Maduro and recognise opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela's legitimate president, Aljazeera reports. 

"The time has come for the United Nations to recognise interim president Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela and seat his representative in this body," Pence told the UN Security Council, adding that he has drafted a resolution on Venezuela. It was unclear when and where - either the Security Council or General Assembly - he planned to introduce the resolution.

Pence also announced that the US government will provide other $60m in humanitarian aid to Venezuela.
