The situation in Venezuela deteriorated after Juan Guaido, the leader of the Venezuelan National Assembly, proclaimed himself the interim president. The United States and a number of other countries immediately recognised him as head of state, while Washington also froze some of the Venezuelan state's assets abroad and imposed sanctions on the country's oil industry.
