AS/COA Statement on the Situation in Venezuela
This is a historic opportunity to achieve a democratic, prosperous, and stable Venezuela.
Americas Society and Council of the Americas (AS/COA) have over the course of many years strongly supported efforts to build a democratic, prosperous, and stable Venezuela. President Donald Trump’s decision to order the capture of Nicolás Maduro for trial in the United States constitutes a historic opportunity to achieve these longstanding goals. Venezuela now needs investment, social peace, and rule of law, elements that over time can only be durably achieved by a legitimate, democratically elected government. AS/COA has supported Venezuelans who have bravely fought for their country, including María Corina Machado, the winner of our 2025 Gold Medal. Their efforts, as well as those of the private sector and civil society, will be critical in the weeks and months to come.
