(Worthy News) – The United States is seeking a United Nations Security Council resolution calling on Venezuela to conduct free, fair and credible presidential elections with international observers.
The US move has prompted Russia to propose a rival resolution, essentially raising concerns over outside interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs.
Moscow has refused to support a US-led campaign to recognize Venezuelan opposition leader and head of the country’s elected National Assembly Juan Guaido as president and continues to back Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Guaido last month declared himself interim president, challenging Maduro’s rule.
