"Venezuelan Supreme Court Blocks Opposition Presidential Candidates"
TL;DR
The United States Department of State expressed concern over the Venezuelan Supreme Court's decision to disqualify opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, stating that it contradicts the commitment to hold a competitive presidential election in 2024. The decision is seen as inconsistent with the Barbados electoral roadmap agreement and has prompted the US to review its sanctions policy towards Venezuela.
