> US: 'Patently false' that Biden conspired against Venezuela
>
> WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States says Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's accusation that Vice President Joe Biden conspired against him is "patently false."
>
> Maduro claimed in a televised address that Biden sought to foment the overthrow of his socialist government during a Caribbean energy summit Biden hosted last month. Maduro says Biden told Caribbean heads of state that the Venezuelan government's days were numbered and it was time they abandon their support.
>
> Maduro says what Biden did "has no name."
>
> The White House is hitting back. In a statement, the vice president's office says Maduro is trying to distract from concerning conditions in Venezuela, including repeated violations of personal freedoms and due process.
>
> The clash comes one month after Biden and Maduro chatted briefly in Brazil and expressed a desire for restored ties
