La cuestión ya no es que “Venezuela no está lista” para elecciones. La cuestión es cuáles son los pasos necesarios para que esté lista, como expliqué en @lagranaldea. Técnicamente, estos pasos pueden adoptarse para permitir elecciones presidenciales en 2027.

This little prayer card to Our Lady of Coromoto, patroness of Venezuela, was in my late father’s wallet for years. I pray today, now that María Corina Machado is back in her homeland, for peace, justice, and reconciliation in Venezuela. 🇺🇸🙏🇻🇪

The conditions allowing for the safe return of Ms. Machado to Venezuela is the direct result of the U.S. supported reconciliation talks which has already seen hundreds of political prisoners freed and hundreds of political opposition figures return from exile. The United States expects the freedoms of all sectors of Venezuelan politics to continue to be respected. Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.

“La dictadura de Franco duró cuarenta años, y por eso -y porque no hubo una ruptura completa entre dictadura y democracia, suponiendo que tal cosa sea posible- no es extraño que muchos de los principales constructores de la democracia procedieran del franquismo”.

MARACAIBO, Venezuela—Seeing Venezuela align with Trump after the overthrow of Nicolás Maduro, shrimp magnate José Enrique Rincón thought he could safely return home to reclaim the $700 million business the regime had seized. He was jailed instead. wsj.com/world/americas/venez…

The United States welcomes the conclusion of the latest round of Venezuela’s political reconciliation talks, which focused on expanding political freedom and participation. This Venezuelan-led process continues to strengthen democratic institutions, expand political freedoms, and lay the groundwork for free, fair, and credible elections.   state.gov/releases/office-of…

The subject is merit-based recruitment and fellowships for a new generation of Americans in the foreign service. Should be of great interest to students and young professionals.

“Los gobiernos tenemos que cooperar”🇵🇾🤝🏻🇺🇲 ✍🏼 Christopher Landau, subsecretario de Estado de EEUU, expresó que es un gran orgullo cooperar con el presidente Santiago Peña “para asegurar la seguridad de nuestros pueblos”, afirmó. 👉🏼 Landau destacó la fraternidad, solidaridad y el espíritu de cooperación como puntos claves de la colaboración entre nuestro país y los Estados Unidos de América. ▪️ Además destacó la seriedad con que ve como el Paraguay está abordando la seguridad en la “Triple Frontera” y se mostró impresionado por la presencia militar en esa zona del país. “Es importante que el Estado demuestre su superioridad”, añadió.

La primera reforma tributaria en Venezuela consiste en restablecer la centralidad de la propiedad privada. Sin propiedad no hay riqueza. Sin riqueza no hay poder tributario.

I’m excited to be heading to Paraguay and Argentina next week for discussions with political, security, and economic leaders about opportunities to deepen cooperation between our countries. In particular, we’ll be discussing with US businesses and investors how our capital and know-how can foster economic prosperity for them and for us. And this trip will have deep personal resonance for me, as I grew up in Paraguay and attended the American School of Asunción for 5 years (1972-77) as the son of the US Ambassador. I’m grateful to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and @SecRubio for this opportunity to advance our diplomatic objectives in a part of the world that’s part of the fabric of my own life. 🇺🇸🇵🇾🇦🇷 state.gov/releases/office-of…

OFAC extended the earthquake relief license (now GL 60A) through 4/21/27 and clarified in FAQ 1263 that payments under the oil and minerals licenses must still be paid into the FGDF. Hence, the Government of Venezuela cannot directly receive those revenues for earthquake relief.

La OFAC extendió la licencia de alivio por el terremoto hasta el 21/4/27 y aclaró (FAQ 1263) que los pagos bajo licencias de petróleo y minerales deben seguir realizándose en la FGDF. Venezuela no puede recibir directamente esos ingresos para el alivio del terremoto.
