The Biden administration has recognized Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the country's new president, as the Maduro government still has not presented data to back its claim to have won the elections.
"Given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States and, most importantly, to the Venezuelan people that Edmundo González Urrutia won the most votes in Venezuela's July 28 presidential election," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
