MIAMI: Venezuelan security officials who detained an American journalist for more than 12 hours pushed him to voice support for socialist President Nicolas Maduro, whose government faces international condemnation, the journalist said on Thursday .

"They continually kept asking if I had contacts in the military, if I had contacts in the local police force or in the national police force." Most Western countries, including the United States and Germany, have recognised Guaido as the OPEC nation's legitimate head of state and back his plan to install a transition government ahead of free elections.Guaido says Maduro's re-election last year resulted from a sham vote, and he blames Maduro for an economic collapse that has led to widespread shortages and hyperinflation in Venezuela.
