The United States is withdrawing all remaining diplomatic personnel from Venezuela this week amid nearly week-long blackouts around the country, the US State Department has announced.
It follows a January decision to withdraw all dependents and reduce embassy staff to a minimum in the country.
'This decision reflects the deteriorating situation in Venezuela, as well as the conclusion that the presence of US diplomatic staff at the embassy has become a constraint on US policy,' Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted on Monday night.
Pompeo said the remaining diplomats in Venezuela will be removed by the end of the week.

God help the people of Venezuela.
