Why are we compounding the wrongs committed in Venezuela by taking actions that many see as depriving its people of their national wealth? If the United States truly supports democracy, sovereignty, and the rule of law, it should pursue those principles consistently.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is serving as the de facto "viceroy" of Venezuela. Whether one agrees with that characterization or not, it raises troubling questions about U.S. policy toward another sovereign nation. Long-standing sanctions, economic pressure, and disputes over Venezuelan assets have imposed significant hardship while doing little to resolve the country's political crisis.
America should be guided by diplomacy, respect for international law, and the self-determination of nations—not policies that deepen suffering or fuel resentment. Lasting peace and stability come through dialogue and cooperation, not coercion.
It is time to replace confrontation with constructive engagement and respect for Venezuela's sovereignty.
