Why Biden is continuing Trump’s failed Venezuelan policy of international sanctions and recognition of Juan Guaidó

There are two reasons for Biden’s continuation of Trump’s Venezuela policy which in the words of Connecticut Senator Chris Murphey has been an “unmitigated disaster.” First, it's to teach Venezuela a lesson for the world to see and assimilate. You can't challenge U.S. hegemony without paying a price. Washington has targeted Venezuela for special treatment from the beginning because Chávez, more than any other progressive president in the region, championed what he called the "multi-polar world," a euphemism for anti-imperialism. And second, the sanctions and recognition of Guaidó serve as leverage (a term now used in Washington to justify the policy of international sanctions) to extract concessions from the Maduro government in accordance with U.S. strategic interests.
