Nine months after the capture of Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump considered that Venezuela still does not meet conditions for holding elections. The position was expressed by the American leader regarding the political situation in the South American country.
Washington promised to accelerate the transition process in Venezuela, but without setting a definitive date for its conclusion. The Trump administration did not specify which criteria it considers necessary for the country to be prepared for an electoral process.
The capture of Maduro, which occurred nine months ago, marked a turning point in Venezuelan politics and triggered international expectations about a possible democratic opening in the country. However, the United States government understands that the minimum conditions for holding free and fair elections in Venezuela have still not been created.
