3. The Venezuelan people are still living under the same brutal regime as always. Their rights to freedom of movement & speech continue to be suppressed. The people have no rights to chose their own leaders & representatives but must continue to live under authoritarian rule.

2. that regime in power. Trump has made it clear he doesn't want elections to occur anytime in Venezuela. He wants a Dictator in power but one he can completely control.
