US Warns Americans to Leave Venezuela Immediately

The United States has told its citizens in Venezuela to leave the country right away.

The government says it's not safe there because of many dangers like armed groups, kidnappings, and problems with electricity.

The US also can't help Americans in Venezuela right now because its services there are closed.

People are told to be very careful, especially when traveling, and to watch out for groups called 'colectivos' that might harm Americans.

The US says Venezuela is very dangerous, and it's the highest warning level for travel.

There are also reports of pro-government protests demanding the release of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
