  • Dozens protested at the U.S. embassy in Mexico City opposing foreign intervention while Maduro's government insisted he remains Venezuela's `only president` ready to defend the country, and analysts warned the vacuum could destabilize South America as the White House National Security Strategy calls for repositioning forces.
