The European Union hardened its stance against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, moving closer to the U.S. position recognizing the National Assembly leader as the country’s ruler.
The EU on Saturday called for a move “over the next days” toward elections in the oil-rich South American nation, where Maduro and National Assembly chief Juan Guaido both claim to be president. The 28-nation bloc also dangled the prospect of recognizing Guaido as Venezuela’s leader in the absence of any announcement on a new ballot.
