Venezuela's self-declared interim president Juan Guaido says he will exercise his "duties as president" as soon as he returns to Venezuela from Colombia where he met Monday with US Vice President Mike Pence.
In a message posted to Twitter, Guaido said he will provide "an audio with the next instructions." "I ask you to massively spread our message," he wrote on Twitter. "Nothing will stop us." Guaido, the head of Venezuela's opposition-led legislature, declared himself acting president of Venezuela in January and is battling President Nicolas Maduro for control of the country. Guaido met with Pence and Colombian President Ivan Duque this week in Bogota, Colombia, where a meeting of the Lima Group -- a diplomatic body created to help mitigate the Venezuelan crisis -- was taking place. The meeting followed a weekend of violent clashes in Venezuela, where the military has blocked aid convoys from entering the country.
