Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro celebrated the departure of outgoing American President Donald Trump during a nationwide broadcast Wednesday, appearing to claim some responsibility for his electoral defeat by declaring, “We beat him!”
Maduro also urged President Joe Biden to seek “respectful” relations with Venezuela, failing to note he previously accused Biden of personally orchestrating a failed assassination plot against him in 2015.
Trump’s Venezuela policy was marked by his vocal opposition to socialism, repeated references to Maduro as a ruthless dictator, and support for President Juan Guaidó, the country’s legitimate head of state. While Guaidó has been the nation’s president since 2019, Maduro has retained full control of the military, preventing Guaidó from exercising any executive power save for sending ambassadors to democratic countries who recognized his legitimacy.
