The Biden administration still supports Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, despite the European Union downgrading his status as the country’s interim president.
The U.S. views elections last December that led to Guaido’s ouster as leader of the National Assembly as illegitimate and recognizes the legal authority of the assembly that was elected in 2015, and thus Guaido’s role as interim president, according to a National Security Council spokesperson who requested anonymity to describe the Biden administration’s thinking.
