I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Guaidó is supported by both major political parties in the US but is not recognized as president of Venezuela by any members of the EU. The US has an abysmal track record of meddling in Latin American elections - who should we look to here?

Erm, where are you getting this information? Most countries, if they've expressed a view on the issue, support Guaido, including essentially the entire EU:

Though I can't say no member states recognize him, the sources on Wikipedia are largely tweets and I'm not sure how up to date they are, the EU as a whole has retracted their support for him as interim president.

Yep. Also reported by Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-election-eu-idU...

Interesting, I see why this news slipped by given the date.

Edit: If I'm reading this correctly, the EU is not walking back their recognition here but rather updating it

[boomboomsubban]

I don't know what the difference is, they don't recognize him currently even if they did in the past.

The difference is that further elections & governmental procedure occurred in Venezuela and the EU is simply updating their recognition in light of that. They aren't timidly walking back their earlier recognition as if they were caught supporting the wrong guy.
