President Biden is expected Monday to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González at the White House ahead of Venezuela's Friday inauguration of President Nicolas Maduro for his third term after their highly-contested election, a White House official tells CBS News.
The United States and many European countries have rejected Maduro's claim of winning the election, which was certified by Venezuela's Supreme Court in August. In November, the U.S. government recognized Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González as the president-elect.
González's White House visit is the first stop on an international tour of defiance to Venezuelan inauguration and gathering of international support. He has been living in exile in Spain since a Venezuelan judge issued an arrest warrant following the July presidential election.
