The upcoming encounter between Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó and US President Joe Biden has garnered attention from both local and international spheres. Guaidó, who is the head of Venezuela’s National Assembly, holds significant political weight as Venezuela’s self-proclaimed interim president backed by the United States, among other Western nations. As Biden meets with Guaidó, observers are turning to the implications of the meeting on the status quo of US-Venezuela relations and how it might influence the dynamics under Biden’s administration and eventual electoral successor.
While Venezuela’s government maintains that Guiadó is a US pawn, this significant meeting between them and Biden will be a crucial turning point in an international conflict. The impact of this meeting on US-Venezuela relations appears to be significant, particularly considering the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the political challenges faced by Venezuela. Commentators weigh the substantial pressure on the incumbent administration under Donald Trump to do something drastic, ensuring the continuance of the sanctions and diplomatic measures taken during his presidency.
