Juan Guaidó is a Venezuelan engineer and politician. He is one of the members of the ‘Popular Will’ party. He is also the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela since January 5, 2019. On January 23, he assumed office as the interim President of Venezuela after the ‘Organization of American States’ declared the second inauguration of Nicolás Maduro (as President of Venezuela) illegitimate. Many countries across the world, including the United States of America recognized Guaidó as the interim President of Venezuela. After assuming office, Guaidó requested humanitarian aid from the United States and other countries to help hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans affected by the socioeconomic and political crisis in the country. Following his request, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo promised to offer $20 million and the Canadian government promised to offer Can$53 million to help Venezuela.
