- Venezuela: President Nicolas Maduro has accused the US of meddling in the country's growing economic troubles and plotting to remove him. The countries have expelled each other's diplomatic staff repeatedly, and have not exchanged ambassadors in almost six years. In March, US sanctioned Venezuelan officials it accused of human rights violations and corruption following mass protests in the country last year. Mr Maduro harshly criticised the sanctions and hailed the officials as heroes against imperialism.
