President Trump’s diplomatic campaign against Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro on Monday won the support of some European countries that decided to recognize lawmaker Juan Guaido as interim president.

Sixteen European nations – including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom – lent their support to Guaido, after a diplomatic deadline for Maduro to call elections passed without any concession from the regime. The announcement raises the possibility that Europe’s largest economies will join the U.S. effort to deprive Maduro of government resources and support Guaido instead.
