“No doubt, Venezuelans deserve better government. For more than a quarter century they have suffered under left-populist strongmen, first Hugo Chavez and then his successor and current president, Nicolas Maduro. Model authoritarians, the latter destroyed democracy, ravaged the economy, impoverished Venezuelans, and drove millions of people abroad. Alas, U.S. policy toward Venezuela has been a complete failure.” (09/11/25)
