The Biden administration has officially recognized Juan Guaidó, the opposition leader of Venezuela, as the interim president, nearly three months after a disputed election. This decision comes after years of the U.S. and other countries refusing to acknowledge Nicolás Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela. It’s worth noting that the decision has been met with both support and criticism from within and outside Venezuela and has heightened political tensions within the country. Despite international support for Guaidó’s presidency, his power remains limited within Venezuela, where Maduro still controls the military and government institutions.
