MIAMI, FL—As world leaders debate the effectiveness of removing or intensifying sanctions on dictatorial regimes across the globe, in particular Venezuela, Florida International University and the George W. Bush Institute have released a new white paper concluding that economic sanctions on autocracies are unproductive and inadequate, however, personal sanctions against individuals tend to be more effective. […]

Venezuelans seem to finally be optimistic about their country’s future, starting with the prospect of a general presidential election in 2024, where front-runner candidate Maria Corina Machado, who won Venezuela’s opposition primary election On October 22 by garnering a staggering 93% of the votes, would easily beat dictator Nicolas Maduro.  That is if she’s given a chance. A few days after her win, she was ‘invalidated’ from running […]

Washington, D.C.- US lawmakers of Hispanic and Latino descent are reacting to reports of Venezuela’s Supreme Court invalidating recently held opposition primaries.  Earlier this month, Venezuelan opposition parties hosted a primary with record participation in which Maria Corina Machado emerged overwhelmingly victorious.  Machado won the primaries despite being barred by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government […]

By Luis Fleischman, PhD A few months ago, the Biden Administration granted five U.S. oil companies limited authorization to resume pumping oil from Venezuela. The decision came after the Venezuelan government and the opposition reached a humanitarian relief agreement and to resume negotiations to resolve the country’s political crisis, focusing on Venezuela’s 2024 elections. Other […]

It appears the United States is going from supporting one dictator to another when it comes to influencing the purchase of oil around the globe. In an effort to slow down Russian President Vladimir Putin and his campaign in east Ukraine, the Biden administration is poised to allow the shipment of oil from Venezuela into […]

Among President Trump's wisest foreign policy strategies has been his tough sanctions against the brutal and illegal seizure of power by Venezuela's Maduro regime. Nicolas Maduro is one of the world's most corrupt and murderous world leaders. Chaotic protest scenes have broken out in the nation's largest city, Caracas, the nation's economic infrastructure has collapsed, […]

One of the most, if not the most, clear and present threats to U.S. national security in the Western Hemisphere is the growing influence and support from the Islamic State of Iran to the dictatorial regime of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela.

By Luis Fleischman @LuisFleischman Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism. Iran has sought to expand the Islamic revolution and its influence. It cooperates with the Taliban, an extreme Islamist group in Afghanistan, and is also expected to interfere in the recent conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.  Iran’s criminal […]

Vice president Joe Biden may have had one of his biggest senior moments yet when he attacked President Donald Trump for stating in an interview that he would be open to meeting with Venezuelan Dictator Nicholas Maduro, forgetting that he had previously hugged it out with the Venezuelan drug overlord.

Two Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ships that "were en route to Venezuela carrying Iranian fuel, scrapped their deliveries after the U.S. threatened sanctions.”

To confirm Russia’s play to skirt around the U.S. sanctions against his regime, Maduro himself tweeted on the very same day that he had communicated with Baron Putin, and was assured the support “in all areas” of their relationship. Maduro made himself very clear.

The Trump administration has tied a tight noose around Venezuelan strongman and resident drug dealer Nicholas Maduro, but will all the effort really work to oust him?

If the Trump administration was to allow the GL8 license to expire, more American jobs will be lost, and U.S. national security in the region will be further compromised.

America is playing whack-a-mole with Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. After losing access to most of its oil revenue, the tyrant’s regime is overcoming U.S. sanctions

Venezuelan Dictator, strongman, and narco-trafficker, Nicholas Maduro and his reign of terror could be over soon as the COVID-19 virus and the strong economic sanctions his country has been saddled with could prove to be a knock out combination. Oh, and Trump did this, not Obama

With the spread of the Coronavirus having nearly thrown the global oil market into a tailspin as demand for crude has plummeted, the end of Nicolas Maduro’s criminal regime could be near.

After Juan Guaidó's successful European and U.S. tour that had him meeting with top Western leaders including Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump,

COVID-19 is a global pandemic affecting millions of people from China to Italy to the United States. No country is spared from the virus – over 600,000 individuals across the world have been infected and over 30,000 have died.
