- Venezuelans watch a new round of talks between the government and opposition with cautious optimism
Venezuelans are observing a new round of U.S.-backed talks between the government and opposition with cautious optimism. The negotiations, following the January capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, aim to strengthen democracy and restore rights after decades of socialist rule. Previous talks failed, and the U.S. has emphasized facilitating rather than dictating the process.
