OTTAWA — Canada will host a meeting of Western Hemisphere countries next Monday to address the political and economic crisis in Venezuela.
The Lima Group, a coalition of more than a dozen countries in the Americas, minus the United States, was formed in August 2017 to address Venezuela’s growing backslide into authoritarianism. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed its next session will be in Ottawa.
