Venezuela's president gives US staff 72 hours to leave the country
Those nations and others argue that the May 20 election, where Maduro won a new six-year term, was plagued by fraud and that he’s holding the post illegitimately.
Maduro accused President Donald Trump of trying to push Venezuela into an outright confrontation.
“They want to lead Venezuela into an internal conflict, a civil conflict, a violent conflict,” he said. “But once again I call for peace.”
He also asked the courts to take actions against Guaidó and “defend the constitution.”
Analysts say it’s likely that an arrest warrant has already been issued for Guaidó. In the past, Maduro hasn’t hesitated from jailing opponents and potential rivals.
Asked if he was scared of going to jail on Wednesday, Guaidó said: “I’m not worried about that, I’m worried about our people who are suffering.”
