El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has ordered all Venezuelan diplomats to leave the country within 48 hours. In a statement, Mr Bukele said this was in line with his government's position that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was no longer legitimate. Mr Bukele said the Central American nation regarded opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's head of state. Venezuela has been caught up in a power struggle betwwen Mr Maduro and Mr Guaidó, the National Assembly leader. Mr Guaidó declared himself interim president in January, claiming that the elections which brought Maduro to power for a second term were fraudulent. What did El Salvador's president say? In the statement (in Spanish) posted on Twitter, Mr Bukele said: "The government of El Salvador expels the diplomatic corps from the regime of Nicolás Maduro." Mr Bukele, who took the presidency in June, said Mr Guaidó was the legitimate leader of Venezuela. The statement added that in "the near future" El Salvador would receive a new Venezuelan diplomatic corps, named by Mr Guaidó.
