US Vice President Mike Pence is planning a face-to-face meeting with the self-proclaimed Venezuelan ‚interim president‘ at the Lima Group summit, which will examine ways to put additional pressure on the Maduro government.

After security forces maintained loyalty to the Maduro government and blocked convoys of USAID supplies –intended for the opposition– from entering Venezuela on Saturday, US-backed “interim president” Juan Guaido vowed to attend the Lima Group summit, apparently to discuss a course of further action with the countries that have supported his claim to power.
