abcnews.go.com
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.

I think they’re referring to the countless South American counties that America has meddled with in the past.
Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, etc.
Basically, you reap what you sow.
Yep. That's it.
We didn't meddle in Venezuela. Like what are you talking about. The guy thought he had enough oil to not need the u.s as a ally anymore. He cut us off from his country and tried allying with Iraq and Cuba. He failed though.
Cut us off from their oil, then America cut trade ties, then they allied with our adversaries because America turned their back on them simply because they were mad they nationalized their oil.
Yea, that's the point: the US views oil access and strategic alliances as interrelated. If anything I think this is just an open admission that the US DGAF about 'democracy' but is really only interested in the willingness of oil states to deal in their oil supply.
Lol America is so fucking entitled
John Bolton admits to Venezuela coup.
