The recent removal of Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela has introduced significant unpredictability into regional politics and US foreign policy strategies. The United States’ approach has been under scrutiny, with questions emerging about whether the country will pursue a formal transition by supporting new elections or opt for further actions against Maduro’s government, including attempts to depose more officials. Experts note that the situation remains fluid, with no definitive path established following Maduro’s ousting. The decision will likely depend on various factors, including diplomatic negotiations, international responses, and internal political considerations within the US government. The potential for increased instability in Venezuela and the wider region persists, given the complex geopolitical circumstances surrounding regime change and power consolidation.
