Venezuela crisis: Guaidó 'considering asking US for military intervention'
5 May 2019
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó has said he is considering asking the US to launch a military intervention in the embattled country.
Speaking to the BBC's Nick Bryant, he said he would "evaluate all options" to oust President Nicolás Maduro.
Last week he launched a failed attempt to spark a military rebellion and force Mr Maduro out of power.
The president responded by delivering an address from an army base in Caracas, flanked by soldiers.
