OTTAWA—The Lima Group ramped up the pressure on Nicolas Maduro’s socialist regime in Venezuela at an emergency meeting in Ottawa on Feb. 4, but continued to rule out military intervention.

The coalition of more than a dozen Latin American countries and Canada was established in 2017 to coordinate efforts to restore the rule of law and democracy in Venezuela. Delegates from seven European countries, including the EU, also participated in the Ottawa meetings.
