Venezuela suspends airline after Guaidó's flight home
Venezuelan authorities suspended a Portuguese airline Monday days after it carried opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his uncle home from an international tour aimed at ousting president Nicolás Maduro. Guaidó's flight to Caracas on TAP Air Portugal ended his 3-week tour through Europe and into the Trump White House. Venezuelan authorities arrested Guaidó's uncle upon landing, accusing him of trying to bring a small amount of explosives into the nation. VP Delcy Rodríguez said the carrier's flights into and out of the country had been suspended for 90 days, hours of the transportation minister said they had opened an investigation into “serious violation” of local regulations. The EU recognises Guaido as Venezuela's interim president until fresh elections can be held. <br/>
