Venezuela’s opposition, who are desperate to oust Nicolás Maduro’s autocratic regime, don’t think Biden is tough enough

Many of those who dream of bringing free elections and open democracy to the once oil-rich nation have found themselves in a very unusual position -they are pining for the days of Donald Trump.
