Venezuela's Maduro to attend Americas summit, defying host Peru

Peru's Prime Minister Mercedes Araoz hit back at Maduro's comments. Peru had said on Tuesday that Maduro's "presence will no longer be welcome" after a decision to hold early presidential elections in his crisis-torn country without reaching an agreement with the opposition.
