The U.S. State Department is ordering all of its non-emergency workers to leave Venezuela, amid a political crisis. President Nicolas Maduro has ordered all U.S. diplomats out of the country, but the U.S. has said it does not recognize any orders from Maduro. The U.S. directive strongly encourages American citizens who live in or are visiting Venezuela to consider leaving. There is an ongoing political crisis in the country with two men claiming to be president. The Trump Administration has backed the challenger, Juan Guaido as the nation's interim president.
