Last week, the US authorities forced their way into the embassy and detained all activists who had ignored their threats and remained there.
Activists have been reiterating that by forcing them out of the embassy, where they had stayed at the invitation of the legitimate Venezuelan government, US officials have violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which rules that diplomatic premises must be protected against any "intrusion, disturbance of the peace, or impairment of its dignity."

Some observers noted that Guaido's decision to take part in the talks appeared to be an admission of defeat after he declared himself Venezuela's president and called for a military coup to oust Maduro. The Venezuelan military did not heed Guaido's calls for a coup. Maduro has repeatedly called for a national dialogue with the opposition to resolve the country's political and economic crises peacefully.
The US, Canada, some Latin American and European nations recognized Guaido as the new legitimate leader and supported him in his attempts to oust Maduro from power.
Russia, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Turkey and a number of other countries have voiced their support for constitutionally-elected Maduro as the only legitimate president of Venezuela.
