"In the face of Maduro's cruelty and criminal ineptitude, former interim President Guaidó stood for a better future for the Venezuelan people. Against incredible odds, he and so many others continue a patriotic struggle to rebuild this once proud Latin American neighbor. During our meeting, I reiterated my admiration for his courage and belief that there should be no U.S. or international concessions to the Maduro regime without a commitment to a clean and fair 2024 Venezuelan election that includes robust international monitoring."
