The United States has stated it will not obstruct the return of a Venezuelan opposition leader to the country, according to a statement from Deputy Assistant Secretary for South America Luis Mendez.
Mendez indicated that while the U.S. will not block the opposition leader's return, the U.S. government recognizes there is work to be done to ensure the individual does not face arrest upon returning to Venezuela. His comments suggest concerns about potential legal action against the opposition figure by Venezuelan authorities.
The statement reflects U.S. positioning on Venezuela's internal political situation and comes amid broader tensions between Washington and Caracas over democratic governance and opposition rights in the country.
