Washington warns Caracas against temptation to attack Juan Guaido

Washington : The White House warned Tuesday the Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro against the temptation to attack the opponent Juan Guaido, she recognized as acting president.

"Those who try to sabotage democracy and attack Guaido will suffer the consequences," tweeted Donald Trump's national security advisor, John Bolton.

Bolton was reacting to the decision of the Venezuelan Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, to demand the application of "precautionary measures" against Mr. Guaido, including the ban on leaving the country and the blocking of his accounts.

"We denounce the threats of the former Attorney General of Venezuela against President Juan Guaido," said the US adviser.

Later in the day, Venezuela's Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) effectively banned Juan Guaido from leaving the country and froze his bank accounts.
