Venezuela faced growing international isolation and a deepening economic crisis Monday following President Nicolas Maduro's contested re-election as the United States tightened the screws on his regime over a "sham" vote.
Washington's stern reaction further ratcheted up the pressure on the leftist Maduro, after the Lima Group's 14 mainly Latin American members moved to recall their ambassadors in protest at the opposition-boycotted vote.
G20 countries Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, Chile and the US said they would not recognize the result and would evaluate sanctions measures.
