The situation in Venezuela remains explosive, with the Washington-backed opposition led by Juan Guaido seeking to oust President Nicolas Maduro. The country's political and economic crisis has been exacerbated by constant financial pressure from the US.
In one of his latest statements, Maduro stressed that the Venezuelan government will independently deal with the problems that the country is currently facing.
