CARACAS (Reuters) - Global jostling intensified on Thursday between countries that want Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in power and those trying to force him to resign, as opposition leader Juan Guaido made overtures to his rival's allies Russia and China.
Guaido told Reuters he had sent communications to both powers, which are Venezuela's top foreign creditors and support Maduro in the U.N. Security Council despite worries about the cash-strapped country's ability to pay.
