In a press statement issued yesterday, July 27, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated the country’s unwavering support for Venezuela’s restoration of democratic order and justice one year after another sham election.
The United States stands firmly against Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian regime, which has defied the will of the Venezuelan people by declaring itself the winner in a baselessly rigged election. The U.S. recognizes that Maduro is not the President of Venezuela and his regime is not the legitimate government.
Maduro’s Corrupt Regime
The Secretary of State highlighted Maduro’s involvement with the narco-terrorist organization Cartel de Los Soles, responsible for trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe. Maduro has also been indicted by the U.S. nation, accused of corruption and aiding the cartel’s illicit activities in Venezuela.
- For years, Maduro has manipulated Venezuela’s electoral system to maintain his illegitimate grip on power.
- The regime has corrupted Venezuela’s institutions to assist the cartel’s criminal narco-trafficking scheme into the United States.
The U.S. is working with its partners to hold accountable those responsible for undermining America’s national security interests. By scheduling municipal elections on the eve of the anniversary of the stolen July 28 presidential election, Maduro aims to deploy the military and police to suppress the will of the Venezuelan people once again.
Continuing Support for Venezuela
The United States remains committed to supporting Venezuela’s restoration of democratic order and justice. The country will continue to work with its partners to promote transparency, accountability, and human rights in Venezuela.
“Those who steal elections and use force to grasp power undermine America’s national security interests,” said Secretary Rubio. “The U.S. will not stand idly by while the Maduro regime continues to pursue its authoritarian agenda.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, the United States remains firm in its support for Venezuela’s restoration of democratic order and justice. The country will continue to work with its partners to promote transparency, accountability, and human rights in Venezuela.
