Venezuelan consular services have been suspended in the U.S.
Key points:
Background: Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro announced Jan. 23 he was cutting diplomatic ties with the U.S. and expelling all U.S. consular staff. The following day he announced that the Venezuelan Embassy and all consulates in the U.S. would be closed.
