The dictatorship of Venezuela and Cuba Within 24 hours, we were hit by two devastating blows.
The first was when President Trump announced the end of his oil concessions to Venezuela. The second was the imposition of restrictions on US visas for those sponsoring international medical brigades organized by Cuba's communist regime.
The first measure marked a clear, categorical decision regarding Nicolas Maduro's dictatorship. That oil cannot buy an indefinite grace from a resurgence of democracy. And here the Trump administration went up by including the Venezuelans Tren de Aragua prison gangs on the list of foreign terrorist organizations. This new policy change is about to be buried once for all the settlement policies implemented by the Biden administration. The United States is finally calling its name and taking important actions.
New standards have been set for relations with Latin America. America's safety, prosperity and happiness are closely linked to the safety and prosperity of the region. This management addresses the symptoms and root causes of migration.
Trump is dealing with an authoritarian regime that secures borders and intentionally produces greater immigration to the United States. He is accountable to all countries for sharing issues. This is a comprehensive and unprecedented approach.
2022, Biden administration In exchange for an empty democratic commitment from Maduro's regime, it approved a general license for oil exploration in Venezuela. The administration opened dialogue, made many promises, made elections, lost them, maintained their power illegally, and again laughed at the international community.
After the election and the lies of his administration, Maduro has continued to enjoy the benefits of a license to export oil to the United States for the past two years. $4 billion Revenue. The oil business ended this week.
The Trump administration has increased pressure on Venezuela's dictatorship and has shown greater support for the opposition parties. Trump's son, Donald Jr. Podcast with Maria Corina MachadoVenezuela's major opposition leader. This interview revealed how Elon Musk's Starlink technology gives voice to voiceless people and saves key information to demonstrate Maduro's election fraud.
Trump also ratified his company and unwavering position on Cuba's dictatorship. At a record time, the US revived hard-line policies against its administration, bringing Cuba back to its list of national sponsors for terrorism. Sanctions have recovered to those who benefited from stolen property, Cuba's restriction list has been reestablished, and financial transactions with corrupt military forces have been banned.
Furthermore, Trump's administration has done something other presidents have never done before. Punishes trafficking in the administration of Cuban doctors. The so-called Cuban medical brigades have 60 years of immunity, labor exploitation, human rights violations and In some cases, they hide military operations.
The Mexican government has paid for the past two years $24 million to the Cuban dictatorship for the Healthcare Brigade. Nearly 200 “volunteer” doctors arrived in Mexico last year. The island's tyranny receives about $5,000 per person, but the doctor himself gets breadcrumbs.
The US is back and is resuming its leadership in Latin America. This time, we will not hand over to China, Iran, or any other Eastern Hemisphere forces.
Leadership through strength is fundamental. Like President Ronald Reagan, Trump will not accept the horrifying mail or pressure from the Banana Republic on major regions such as trade, drug trafficking and migration. This administration is not afraid of conflict or controversy. On the contrary, they see them as necessary parts of change.
Policy conquering in chaos has produced results in Venezuela and beyond. Mexico has handed it over for the first time Dozens of major drug lords In the United States, with no denials or delays. Panama Attorney General It also declares the government's agreement with Chinese companies in the port sector unconstitutional.
More countries are creating programs to receive and deport immigrants. And the list goes on and on. These changes are not coincidental. These changes were intentional and just started.
America is back.
