<p>Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered Thursday
the closing of the embassy and consulates of his country
in the United States, a day after breaking diplomatic
relations with Donald Trump government.</p>
<p>The crisis between the two governments escalated this
week when the White House backed the swearing in of
opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido as “interim president”
against the constitution and international law.</p>
<p>"They want to break the republic, the nation, they want
to declare an unconstitutional president ... Their
imperial lord Mike Pompeo organized this, it was him who
gave the order," Maduro said speaking of the attempted
parliamentary coup against his elected progressive
government. </p>
<p>In a speech at the headquarters of the highest court of
that nation, Maduro was in favor of the call for
dialogue made to the country as a whole by the
governments of Uruguay and Mexico. "I can face the worst
difficulties because I know I have the strength of the
people."</p>
