Russian foreign minister visits Venezuela, bolstering Maduro

Russia’s foreign minister visited Venezuela on Friday in a show of support for President Nicolás Maduro as mounting pressure from Washington threatens to cut off the socialist leader from a key financial ally in Moscow. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s stop in Caracas follows a trip by Venezuelan opposition politician Juan Guaidó to Washington, where officials in the Trump administration say they’re preparing to redouble efforts to force out Maduro.
