US calls Peru's Castillo 'former president' after impeachment

Description

The United States indicates that it no longer considered Pedro Castillo to be Peru's president hours after he attempted to dissolve Congress as it moved to impeach him. "My understanding is that, given the action of the Congress, he is now former president Castillo," State Department spokesman Ned Price tells reporters, saying lawmakers took "corrective action" in line with democratic rules.
