Washington/Caracas, May 6 (IANS) Amid political unrest in Venezuela, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that embattled President Nicolas Maduro is "ruling for the moment", but cannot be part of the country's future.

Citing Venezuela's "enormous poverty, enormous starvation" and lack of access to medicine for sick children, Pompeo said "this is not someone who can be part of Venezuela's future."
"Whether that change takes place today or tomorrow or a week from now, one can't predict," Pompeo continued.
Pressed on whether Maduro's exit is imminent, Pompeo said, "Could be two weeks, could be four weeks."
"Maduro cannot feel good about the security of his position today, and he shouldn't, because the Venezuelan people will demand ultimately that he leave," he said.
