Since Nicolas Maduro succeeded Hugo Chavez as Venezuela’s Bolivarian dictator, his relationship with the US has been rocky to say the least.
This is driven by ideological differences with the socialist strongman, as well as allegations of drug trafficking, human rights abuses, and disputes over his (lack of) electoral legitimacy.
Maduro tries to position himself as a vocal critic of U.S. influence in Latin America, while the U.S. criticizes Maduro’s government for authoritarianism, accusing it of undermining democratic institutions, repressing dissent, and causing Venezuela’s economic collapse through his insane policies.
This has led to sanctions against Maduro and his allies, reflecting a broader strategy to pressure the regime toward democratic reforms.
In 2019, the U.S. refused to recognize Maduro’s sham re-election, and recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s interim president.
The weak and leftist-leaning Biden administration resumed limited talks in 2022 and easing some sanctions in exchange for ‘electoral reforms’ that never came.
Maduro barred opposition leader María Corina Machado from running in the 2024 presidential election and again stole the elections in July 2024.
The US also accuses Maduro of narco-terrorism, charging him in 2020 with leading the Cartel of the Suns, a drug-trafficking organization, and increasing a reward for his arrest to $25 million in January 2025.
