美国承认胡安·瓜伊多为委内瑞拉新任临时总统，并坚定支持他根据委内瑞拉宪法第233条并在全国代表大会的支持下勇敢决定担任此角色，以恢复委内瑞拉的民主。如特朗普总统所说，“委内瑞拉的人民勇敢地表示了对马杜罗及其政权的反对，并要求自由和法治。”

委内瑞拉人民在尼古拉斯·马杜罗的糟糕独裁下已经忍受足够久了。我们呼吁马杜罗让位以支持一位反映了委内瑞拉人民意愿的合法领导人。在委内瑞拉准备自由和公平的选举时，美国支持瓜伊多总统建立过渡政府，领导委内瑞拉。我们敦促所有委内瑞拉人和平支持这一民主进程，正如1999年宪法所赋予他们的权力。

我们会与合法选举出的全国代表大会密切合作，促进委内瑞拉过渡回到民主和法治，这与《泛美民主宪章》一致。美国也准备好在条件允许时为委内瑞拉人民提供人道主义援助。

委内瑞拉人民正在强烈要求一个自由和民主的委内瑞拉。如我们之前所说，美国与包括美洲国家组织、利马集团和欧洲联盟在内的国际社会一道，支持委内瑞拉人民寻求恢复他们的民主。我们再次呼吁委内瑞拉军队和安全部队支持民主并保护所有委内瑞拉公民。

委内瑞拉新政府代表委内瑞拉承载着民主的火焰。美国承诺继续支持瓜伊多总统、全国代表大会和委内瑞拉人民。

Press Statement

Michael R. Pompeo
Secretary of State

Washington, DC

January 23, 2019

The United States recognizes Juan Guaido as the new interim President of Venezuela, and strongly supports his courageous decision to assume that role pursuant to Article 233 of Venezuela’s constitution and supported by the National Assembly, in restoring democracy to Venezuela. As President Trump said, “The people of Venezuela have courageously spoken out against Maduro and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law.”

The Venezuelan people have suffered long enough under Nicolas Maduro’s disastrous dictatorship. We call on Maduro to step aside in favor of a legitimate leader reflecting the will of the Venezuelan people. The United States supports President Guaido as he establishes a transitional government, and leads Venezuela, as the country prepares for free and fair elections. We urge all Venezuelans to support peacefully this democratic process, as granted in the 1999 Constitution.

We will work closely with the legitimately elected National Assembly to facilitate the transition of Venezuela back to democracy and the rule of law, consistent with the Inter-American Democratic Charter. The United States also stands ready to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Venezuela as conditions allow.

The Venezuelan people are clamoring for a free and democratic Venezuela. As we have said before, the United States, with the international community, including the Organization of American States, the Lima Group, and the European Union, support the Venezuelan people as they seek to restore their democracy. We repeat our call to the Venezuelan military and security forces to support democracy and protect all Venezuelan citizens.

The new Venezuelan government carries the flame of democracy on behalf of Venezuela. The United States pledges our continued support to President Guaido, the National Assembly, and the Venezuelan people.
