WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido's representatives in the United States have the "capacity" to use bank accounts belonging to the country's Washington embassy, but do not plan to do so for now, a member of Guaido's diplomatic team said on Wednesday.

"We've been made aware of the accounts," said the team member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "We have the capacity, the capability, to sovereignly act upon them, but our approach is to be incredibly conservative given all the circumstances."
