Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, 35, declared himself interim president in Caracas on Wednesday
The White House swiftly recognized him as 'interim president' in a move intended to force out Nicolas Maduro
Officials said oil sanctions could be in place this week which would further hit the socialist country's economy
Maduro, who was only sworn in for his second term this month, spoke defiantly from presidential palace to accuse US of a coup and expelled its diplomats
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo vowed that 'appropriate action' will be taken if any US diplomats are harmed
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay and Peru also all recognized opposition leader
Huge protests swept the country in the wake of Maduro being sworn in as president earlier this month
Venezuelans expressed anger at Maduro winning the election widely seen as rigged and at food shortages

If Nancy Pelosi declared herself interim president would the right accept that? Some countries would probably recognized her as 'interim president'. Would that make it right?
If so, what if Paul Ryan had done that to Obama while he was president? Then Turkey swiftly recognized him as 'interim president' and others followed. Good for ya?
