"The United States condemns the Venezuelan Supreme Court`s March 29 decision to usurp the power of the democratically elected National Assembly," State Department spokesman Mark Toner stated.
In a statement, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the U.S. considers the dissolution of Venezuela`s National Assembly "a serious setback for democracy" in the country.
Venezuela`s democracy was seen as quickly unraveling Thursday as President Nicholas Maduro`s government took control of the Latin American country`s congress.
The country`s foreign affairs ministry also has begun consulting with members of the Organization of American States to discuss preserving Venezuela`s democracy.
Reuters reported that in response to the Venezuela court`s actions, Peru was recalling its ambassador to Venezuela in response.
