isolation to pressure Maduro to step down.

 The Biden administration has adopted a different approach to Venezuela than the previous administration, which relied heavily on sanctions and isolation to pressure Maduro to step down.

 The current administration has expressed its support for a negotiated solution to the political crisis, and has engaged in dialogue with the Maduro government and the opposition. It has also eased some of the oil sanctions on Venezuela, and announced new measures to manage the influx of Venezuelan migrants at the border¹²³ . However, the Biden administration has not recognized Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela, and has maintained its recognition of Juan Guaidó as the interim leader. It has also stated that any significant relief of sanctions would depend on the outcome of the negotiations, and that it would continue to support human rights and democracy in Venezuela
