US recognizes Venezuela opposition's Gonzalez Urrutia as 'president-elect'

The United States said Tuesday it recognizes opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as "president-elect" of Venezuela, four months after a disputed election in which incumbent Nicolas Maduro claimed victory amid accusations of fraud.

"The Venezuelan people spoke resoundingly on July 28 and made (Gonzalez Urrutia) the president-elect," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote in a post on X.

"Democracy demands respect for the will of the voters."
