Trump is the man for Venezuela

for two years> Donald Trump seemed

all The more striking because the sounds, which abuts Trump these days, therefore, when he talks about Venezuela and the socialist Regime of Nicolás Maduro . Of democracy and human rights, the speech, of the freedom in the Western hemisphere, the imperative to save it – things about the Trump in relation to other autocrats are not many words to lose.

as early as 2017, there was a Meeting of

When it comes to Venezuela, and the support of the Opposition, it is the policy of the US government, however, no longer consistent. An important role of a man, to Trump a changing relationship: Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who was a candidate in 2016 for the presidency himself.

Among the many enmities, the Trump building on the way to the White house, was that with Rubio, especially adolescent. Trump mocked the young Republicans as a "Little Marco", the replied in turn with spells on Trumps genitalia, and claimed that Trump had made at a debate in the pants. However, according to Trumps of victory, it wasn't long until Rubio stand with the President on the Mat to promote a new, harder line against Maduro.

in February of 2017, Rubio made sure that he received in the Oval Office in a meeting with Trump, to brought the he the activist Lilian Tintori, wife of jailed Venezuelan opposition Leopoldo Lopez. It went to show Trump's "the human side" of the Situation in Venezuela, said Rubio, later, the "New York Times": "he responds." Shortly after the Meeting, Trump asked on Twitter for Lopez's release from prison.

The Arm of the Exile

It was the beginning of a close exchange between Rubio and Trump. He was speaking with the President at least once a month about Venezuela, Rubio. The "New York Times" described him as a "de facto foreign Minister for Latin America". Recently, he traveled to the Colombian border, where he met with refugees from Venezuela.

Rubio, who speaks perfect Spanish, is the son of Cuban emigrants. The resistance against the Castro Regime in Havana and the Cuban-backed government in Caracas to drive him for many years. The Barack Obama path Opening up to Cuba, he rejects. In his relationship to Trump the 47-benefits-Year-old also said that the professional U.S. diplomacy has lost its influence. Many Posts are still vacant, the President celebrated his aversion to the "experts" of the Ministry of foreign Affairs.

he Prefers to listen to people like Rubio. He urged Trump, supported by Vice-President Mike Pence and national security adviser John Bolton, the sanctions against Maduro's Regime. The White house had questioned him, in his opinion, "practically all of the issues in Latin America," said the Senator in 2017. "We are in conversation with them, and they are very open."

Important Swing State

This openness is probably due to internal political calculation. Rubio represents Florida, an important Swing State, contributed three years ago to Trumps electoral victory. The many voters with Cuban roots, voted in the majority for Trump. Finally, the number of Venezuelans has increased in the state. Approximately 36, 000 registered voters were born in Venezuela. Since elections in Florida are often decided by only a few Thousand votes, you will be courted now.

There are signs that this group Trumps could reward policy. "In twenty years, the support for us has never been so great as it is today," said Ernesto Ackerman, President of an organization of exiled Venezuelans, the news Agency AP. Trump and the Republicans hope to tie this group in the long term, as you have already managed with the politically, the majority of conservative Cuban-Americans.

this became apparent early this week, as a Trump in Miami a speech in front of Venezuelans held, which came as a re-election. He drew a direct line from the Maduro Regime to the "socialism" of the US Democrats. "Foreign policy is in South Florida's domestic policy," said the democratic members Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the supported, as are almost all of the Democrats from the area the policy of the US government against Venezuela. Was not at the occasion in Miami, you are invited – as well as their party colleagues.
