(Reuters) -Venezuela opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez, who says he resoundingly won a July presidential election but has been living in Spain after a warrant was issued for his arrest, said on Thursday he will travel to Argentina this weekend.

A senior U.S. administration official has told the Associated Press that the Venezuelan opposition leader who claims to have defeated President Nicolás Maduro in last year’s presidential election will meet with U.

Opposition leader Edmundo González met with President Biden on Monday at the White House to ask for the United States’ support ahead of his announced plans to travel to Venezuela this week to be sworn as the South American country’s next president,
