Newsday

Available for over a year

US President Trump has telephoned Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido, to assure him of US support for him as interim president of the country. Washington's new special envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, has been increasing the pressure on President Nicolas Maduro to step aside. An arctic cold snap has sent temperatures plunging across the Midwest in the US and Canada, closing schools, businesses, and state government offices. And Newsday sits down with Leila Ali Elmi, the first East African woman to be elected to the Swedish parliament.
