The Trump Admin’s Slow Breakup with María Corina Machado

The Trump administration has been distancing itself from Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, signaling a shift in its Venezuela policy. This move comes as the administration struggles to balance relations with both hardline and moderate factions within Venezuela's opposition. The change underscores the complexities of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America, where maintaining influence often requires navigating multiple, sometimes conflicting, political actors. This shift may have significant implications for U.S. efforts to influence Venezuela's political landscape and the future of its democracy.
