President Trump Recognizes Juan Guaido as Interim President of Venezuela

Bloomberg:  Trump recognizes Juan Guaido as interim president of Venezuela 

This is breaking news and it is unclear how the military (which holds the actual power in Venezuela) will react to this. Here is hoping that Maduro is driven out of power and that Venezuela can return to sanity.  

The citizens of Venezuela have suffered for too long at the hands of the illegitimate Maduro regime. Today, I have officially recognized the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela. https://t.co/WItWPiG9jK
