Many Venezuelan opposition leaders and exiles are hopeful that President Trump will take a tough line on Venezuela, and help restore democracy in that country. But I’m skeptical, for a reason that doesn’t have anything to do with Venezuela.
Granted, Trump has in recent days received the wife of Venezuela’s imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, and the Trump administration on February 13, announced the freezing of Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami’s assets in the United States, accusing him of being a narco “kingpin.”
