Turkey's Erdogan voices support for Venezuela's Maduro
None
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan phoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to offer support, and said on Thursday he was shocked that Washington had backed the opposition leader's move to declare himself interim leader.
Socialist Maduro described Juan Guaido's move a day earlier as a coup attempt. U.S. President Donald Trump recognised Guaido, as did Canada and right-leaning Latin American governments.
"You will respect the results of elections. Trump's remarks shocked me, as someone who believes in democracy," Erdogan told a news conference in Ankara.
