Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said his country's opposition would face "dire consequences" for their latest "coup." A motion was declared in the opposition-controlled parliament declaring that Maduro "abandoned his post" by failing to tackle the Latin American country's economic crisis. Maduro said he would create an "anti-coup commando squad" comprising of senior security officials.
