(CNN)Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says two American "mercenaries" have been apprehended after a failed coup attempt launched over the weekend.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied US involvement in the incident.
"I just got information on that... But it has nothing to do with our government," Trump told reporters outside the White House before departing for an event in Arizona.
Juan Guaido -- the opposition leader who is recognized by the US and more than 50 countries as Venezuela's interim president -- on Tuesday also denied involvement during a virtual address to the National Assembly.
Guaido, who is National Assembly president, said during the parliamentary meeting that the opposition-controlled assembly had "nothing to do" with the incursion.
Maduro claimed two men who were captured had IDs for a US security company but Guaido said the assembly was not involved with any security firm. He called Maduro's claims attempts to "trick and confuse" the Venezuelan people.
Maduro, in a live address on state television late Monday, brandished what he claimed were the US passports and driver's licenses of the two men, along with what he said were their ID cards for Silvercorp, a Florida-based security services company.
Maduro also showed what he said was a photo of the two men after they were captured, and accused the pair of playing "Rambo" in a failed attack intended to unseat him
