U.S. Warns Venezuela's New Leaders: Change Course or Face Pressure

U.S. Senator Tom Cotton has issued a direct warning to Venezuela's incoming government. He stated the United States must ensure the country's new leaders abandon the policies of former President Nicolás Maduro. This warning comes even though the new administration includes many of Maduro's former political allies. Cotton emphasized the need to check that those now controlling the government "are not going to continue Nicolás Maduro's ways." The statement signals that the U.S. will judge the government by its actions, not its membership. It indicates continued American scrutiny and potential pressure on Venezuela's leadership.
