WASHINGTON, May 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday it has ordered two Venezuelan diplomats to leave the United States within 48 hours, a move that follows Venezuela’s decision to expel two American diplomats.
The diplomats are the chargĂ© d’affaires of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington and the deputy consul general of the Venezuelan consulate in Houston, the State Department said in a statement. (Reporting by Eric Beech Editing by Eric Walsh)
