Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said he will cut all remaining diplomatic ties with Ecuador over its raid on Mexico’s embassy this month.

Maduro said he ordered all diplomatic staff home “until international law is expressly restored in Ecuador.” The failure of Ecuador President Daniel Noboa to express regret over the raid led to the move, he said.
