Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the last remaining American diplomats in Venezuela have left the country.
Passengers ride on a bus with messages scrawled on it that read in Spanish "No to war," and "We want peace," in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, March 14, 2019. With long lines at the stops of public transport and crowds of people at the entrance of some banking agencies, Venezuelans returned to activity on Thursday after four days of paralysis as a result of the biggest blackout in the country's history.
CARACAS, Venezuela — U.S. Pompeo said in a statement Thursday that he knows it is a “difficult moment” for the diplomats. He says the United States remains committed to supporting opposition leader Juan Guaido, who wants to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and hold elections. A convoy was seen leaving the U.S. Embassy in Caracas in the morning, and the American flag is no longer flying outside the embassy.
Pompeo tweeted earlier this week that the diplomats would be withdrawn because they had become a “constraint” on U.S. policy. The Venezuelan government disputed Pompeo’s account, saying it had instructed the U.S. diplomats to leave.
