Blinken reiterates US support to Venezuelan opposition leaders

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken Tuesday held a telephone conversation with Venezuelan opposition leaders María Corina Machado -who stayed in the South American country- and former presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, who has sought asylum in Spain. The official from President Joseph Biden's administration insisted his country would 'continue to defend the return to democratic freedoms' in Venezuela.
