Dozens wounded in clashes as Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaid announces 'final phase'

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó appeared Tuesday with troops at a Caracas military base to announce a “final phase” to remove President Nicolás Maduro from office. This is what we know:

● President Trump accused Cuba of conducting military operations in Venezuela, and threatened a “full and complete embargo” on Cuba if it did not “immediately” stop.

● Violent clashes erupted across the country, with protests in 24 states, as forces loyal to Maduro responded with force; dozens reported wounded, 25 reported detained.

● Maduro said the military has remained loyal; government leaders denounced a “coup” attempt by a “reduced group of military officials” and warned of a “counterattack.”

● Video showed an armored vehicle plowing into a crowd of Guaidó supporters in Caracas. The White House posted the footage on Twitter and blamed the “Maduro regime.”
