Pres. Trump recognizes Venezuela’s National Assembly Leader Juan Guaidó as President

Update: Now confirmed.

President Donald Trump is prepared to recognize the leader of Venezuela’s opposition controlled congress — and not President Nicolás Maduro — as the head of the troubled South America nation, according to CNN.
Citing three unnamed sources, the network on Wednesday said the White House would make the announcement if and when National Assembly President Juan Guaidó declares himself president. Washington, Colombia, Perú and others have already said they consider Maduro illegitimate and see congress as the last bastion of democracy. But recognizing Guaidó as the head of state would take Venezuela into uncharted territory.
While Guaidó has called Maduro a “usurper” for staying in power through a fraud-riddled May 20th election, he’s stopped short of having himself sworn in as president. Taking that provocative move would almost certainly lead to his arrest.
The report comes amid a massive anti-government demonstration in Venezuela Wednesday amid expectations about what Guaidó — a 35-year-old political newcomer — might do next. Protesters are asking for a transitional government to take over and for new elections to be held.
Maduro, who began a new six year term on Jan. 10, has accused the opposition, Washington and others of trying to illegally topple his socialist administration.

3 unnamed sources. Will they call him a liar if it doesn't happen?

Can’t wait for the Bernie Brigade to address this.

If this really happens, it will happen along side with a whole host of other latin american countries with Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro leading that charge in recognizing Guaido..

Several South American countries have already endorsed Guiado. Today Pence sent a recorded message to the people of Venezuela saluting them in their stand, there is a huge opposition gathering in most states today. Four people have already died since last night.
Our state department also issued a statement that we would not let things get out of hand like they did last year when they killed several dozen citizens.

I'll go ahead and put this out there before any Democrats decry this as dangerous, unhinged Trump rhetoric.

This video from Venezuela was recently posted to the twitter account linked in another thread this morning
The crowds of protestors are huge
Hopefully Maduro will just leave and no violence comes.
