VENEZUELA: Maduro raises the stakes with Guyana
Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro recalled the country’s ambassador to Guyana on 6 July for consultations and ordered a review of bilateral relations, including the downsizing of Venezuela’s diplomatic presence in Georgetown. Maduro’s announcement came after he repeated the long-held Venezuelan position that an 1899 Arbitral Award setting the boundaries between Venezuela and Guyana (then respectively administered by the US and the UK) is “null and void”.
