The United States<\/a> has withdrawn all remaining diplomatic personnel from its embassy in Caracas as the crisis in Venezuela<\/a> deepens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today, all US diplomats remaining in Venezuela departed the country. I know it is a difficult moment for them,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the US remains committed to supporting opposition leader Juan Guaido<\/a>, who wants to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro<\/a> and hold elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“US diplomats will now continue that mission from other locations where they will continue to help manage the flow of humanitarian assistance to the Venezuelan people and support the democratic actors bravely resisting tyranny,” Pompeo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
