Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans poured into the streets of Caracas on January 23 to demand an end to the Maduro government, while the United States considered recognizing opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country's rightful leader. Guaido declared himself interim president on January 23, while hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans continued to protest against Maduro. Venezuela's police on January 23 fired tear gas at opposition protesters in Caracas who were hoping to capitalize on several weeks of momentum and force a change in the government. The embattled Venezuelan President said on January 25 that his government would "defeat a coup" referring to opposition leader Juan Guaido and the efforts to recognize him as interim president.
