    Maduro gives US two weeks to cut size of Caracas embassy staff to 17

    The move came after Maduro lashed out at what he called U.S. “conspiracies” against his populist government

    Venezuela's government has given the U.S. two weeks to slash the size of its embassy staff in Caracas to 17 diplomats as tensions between the two nations rise. Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez made the announcement Monday after a meeting with the top American diplomat in Caracas. She said it is up to the U.S. to decide which of an estimated 100 diplomats it wishes to send home.
