Venezuela's President Maduro's New Term Begins Amid Economic Crisis

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro started a second term in office on Thursday, following international criticism that his reelection last year was illegitimate. His term begins as Venezuela faces further isolation and an economic crisis fuels a humanitarian emergency. He continuously blames the United States and his local adversaries for the country's woes. Maduro was sworn in by the Supreme Court and received a triumphant welcome with a symphony orchestra and cheering supporters waving miniature Venezuelan flags.
