Trump recognises Venezuela opposition leader as interim president as 'four die' in protests

Donald Trump has recognised Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the country's interim president in a major blow to sitting President Nicolás Maduro. The US president's recognition came as four people were reported dead in protests opposed to Mr Maduro, who has been condemned at home and abroad for alleged human rights abuses and his handling of an economy that has gone into freefall recently. Mr Guaidó, the National Assembly president who organised the march in opposition to Mr Maduro, is urging the Venezuelan army to disobey the government.
