Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, whose 2018 reelection was rejected by a vast swathe of the international community as fraudulent, said Saturday that he does not care about the global response to a vote scheduled for next year. "We don’t care whether they say something or not, whether they recognize it or not," he added. Guaido led a symbolic "interim government" from 2019 until January this year, with support from the United States and recognition from dozens of other countries but no real power. "The presidential elections will come, the people will vote, the people will choose and, well, we will continue," Maduro said in the interview. In November, the United States eased curbs on energy giant Chevron's operations in oil-rich Venezuela after Maduro's government resumed stalled negotiations with the opposition.
