Cut Off Maduro's Foreign Support to Save Guaido

Juan Guaido is one of the most courageous men in public life today. After completing a tour of world capitals — including a State of the Union shout-out from President Trump —Venezuela’s acting president returned home to redouble his efforts to free that long-suffering nation from the communist tyranny of Nicolas Maduro.

The legitimate president was hectored and roughed up at the airport in Caracas by a mob loyal to Maduro. That thug’s regime clings to power through the subsidies and reinforcements supplied by such fellow totalitarians as the governments of China, Russia, Cuba and Iran.

Juan Guaido’s safety and his country’s future prospects depend critically upon continuing — and intensifying — the international support he enjoys. The United States and other freedom-loving nations must focus now on ending Maduro’s foreign life-support and the pillaging of Venezuela’s vast oil riches that prompts it.
