Maduro accuses Trump of cyber 'sabotage' and orders US diplomats out of the country
Venezuela has ordered US diplomats to leave within 72 hours after President Nicolas Maduro accused US counterpart Donald Trump of cyber "sabotage" that plunged the South American country into its worst blackout on record.
Washington has taken the lead in recognising Mr Guaido as Venezuela's rightful president after the 35-year-old congress chief declared himself interim president in January, calling Mr Maduro's 2018 re-election a fraud.
Mr Guaido joined a series of small opposition demonstrations around Caracas yesterday to protest the blackout, where he mocked the prosecutor's investigation.
