The United States and a number of other nations walked out of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, Switzerland Wednesday as a representative of Venezuela's embattled President Nicolas Maduro got ready to speak.
The U.S. ambassador to the event, Robert Wood, told reporters the walkout was meant to indicate that the Maduro government has no moral or political legitimacy. He called Maduro's rule "unacceptable" and said the spokesman's presence was a "disgrace to the chamber."
Also Wednesday, the Associated Press reports dozens of European and Latin American nations walked out of at meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council to boycott a speech by the Venezuelan foreign minister, Jorge Arreaza. Arreaza called for dialogue between Venezuela and the United States. The United States did not attend the meeting, having dropped out of the council last year over the group's stance on Israel.
The United States was the first to declare its support for the rule of opposition leader Juan Guaido, who in January declared himself the "interim president" of Venezuela. Since then, some 50 other nations have recognized him as the country's leader. Maduro and Guaido are struggling with each other for control of economically strapped Venezuela.
Maduro has refused to allow any humanitarian aid into Venezuela, saying it would be the forerunner of a U.S. invasion. Guaido has vowed to open Venezuela's borders to outside aid.
On Tuesday, Maduro told a U.S. news agency he believes the United States wants to start a war in the region. He told ABC News: "They are trying to fabricate a crisis to justify political escalation and a military intervention in Venezuela to bring war to South America."
On Monday U.S. Vice President Mike Pence announced an additional $56 million in humanitarian aid to Venezuelans during a visit to Colombia to meet with Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido and other members of the Lima Group, an intergovernmental body seeking solutions to the Venezualan crisis.
Also Monday, U.S. television journalist Jorge Ramos said he and his crew were briefly detained at Venezuela's presidential palace in Caracas after Maduro abruptly ended an interview.
Ramos, anchor for U.S.-based Spanish-language network Univision, told reporters he had just shown the president some video of young Venezuelans eating from a garbage truck when the president ended the interview.
He said he and his crew were detained for about two hours at the palace. He said their recording equipment and cellphones were confiscated.
Tuesday, Ramos and his crew were deported and returned to the United States.
Venezuelan Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez disputed Ramos' account of the events and accused him of staging "cheap shows" with the help of the U.S. State Department.
