US has warned of "serious consequences" if any harm comes to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido.
President Donald Trump's national security advisor John Bolton yesterday said Washington has recognised Guaido as the South American country, Venezuela's acting president and President Nicolas Maduro should leave the power.
Bolton's warning
comes after a request was made by the Maduro government's attorney general for the Supreme Court to bar Guaido from leaving the country and to freeze his assets.
Earlier, United States decided to hand over the control of Venezuela's US bank accounts to Guaido, barring Maduro from accessing the funds.
