Here’s some information
Besides the current administration bleating about narco-terrorism, there is widespread international agreement that Maduro stole the 2024 election.

Edmundo González was recognized as the true winner of the contested 2024 election by the following countries…
• Peru: First to recognize (Jul 30, 2024).
• Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama: Recognized as president-elect (early Aug 2024).

• United States: Recognized as winner (Aug 2024) and president-elect (Nov 2024 onward).
• Others: Partial support from EU Parliament, some Latin American nations; calls for transparency from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico.
