The United States says recognition of opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president is the only way to restore democracy in that country. Russia and China, however, continue to support President Nicolas Maduro. Venezuelan Elizabeth Pineda is preparing for things to get even worse. A retiree, Pineda receives a monthly retirement pay of 18,000 bolivars, or about $6. She also earns money as a fortune teller, telling people what she sees in their future. And, she says, the future is telling her that President Nicolas Maduro will not leave quickly or quietly. “The government is going to strangle us even more with their bad decisions and shamelessness,” Pineda said while sharing a meal with two friends. The food cost under two dollars. But, the three friends said they did not have enough money individually to buy it. Economists agree that Venezuelans are likely to suffer as the current situation between Guaido and Maduro continues.
