Trump administration pushes for Venezuela elections

The Trump administration is collaborating with Venezuela to establish a pathway towards elections, revealed a high-ranking State Department official. The proposed plan involves the creation of a new Supreme Court, or TSJ, by mid-December of this year, followed by the reform of the National Electoral Council into a non-political entity.

According to the administration, the eventual outcome would be interim president Delcy Rodríguez announcing a presidential vacancy, thereby initiating a six-month period for new elections. Although the precise schedule is still uncertain, the administration is advocating for its implementation during Trump's tenure in office. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that trust will be contingent on actions.

Reform advocates such as opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has recently returned to Venezuela, are expected to view the blueprint favorably, while some remain skeptical.
