their home country was built on oil, it is appropriate that the social hub of Venezuelan exiles in Miami should be a diner at a petrol station. El Arepazo is in Doral, a suburb near Miami’s international airport with a golf resort belonging to President Donald Trump. It is a shrine to a Venezuela lost. It is wallpapered with blown-up black-and-white photos of Caracas in the 1950s and 1960s. Along with strong coffee it sellsMorale among the clientele is sagging.
This does not mean they are dead, though some in the Trump administration have never believed in them. Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special representative for Venezuela, says: “We’re not trying to torpedo the talks. We think our policies have made the talks possible.” His position in the administration has been strengthened by the failure of theTop of the list is the position of Mr Maduro in a transition.
Critics of American policy point out that sanctions have never toppled determined dictators. Although the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela is of Mr Maduro’s making, the longer sanctions last the more they will add to it. But what is the alternative?

Not to worry, Trump is apparently composing a tweet referring to Nicolás Maduro as “messy Maduro,” and Ivanka is debuting a new handbag line called “Classic Caracas” as a way of promoting Venezuelan culture. Promises made, promises kept.

Why bother with an election if it preserves 'Chavismo?'
Bolton may be gone but plenty of other Yankees want to determine Venezuela's future.......
Venezuela: The Guaido plan to establish Democracy+Prosperity has stalled. Today he couldn't fill half a block of a narrow street in an opposition Caracas suburb Support my Action Plan- Its possible, constitucional, and mutually acceptable solution.
