Venezuela's Guaido gets support of UK as Maduro fails to announce elections

The United Kingdom recognised opposition leader Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela on Monday, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said. "Nicolas Maduro has not called presidential elections within 8-day limit we have set," Hunt said on Twitter. "So the UK alongside European allies now recognises @jguaido as interim constitutional president until credible elections can be held," Hunt said.
