By bnl editorial staff Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez has announced plans to introduce legislation granting amnesty to political prisoners detained since 1999, in yet another major policy shift following the recent ousting of Nicolás Maduro by US forces.

And as long as Rodríguez’s paramilitary terror machine controls Venezuela, few Venezuelan refugees will return home; instead, more will leave. With no U.S. troops in Venezuela according to the administration, Rodríguez has a free hand.

Despite the changing of the guard in Venezuela orchestrated by the U.S., the regime still imprisons pro-democracy leaders. But one call from Trump could change all that.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado weighs in on her political future in a new interview with "Face the Nation."

Venezuela provided Cuba last year with about 70,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined products worth as much as $1.3 billion, the official said.

"We have a more than 30-year history connecting Venezolanos to the U.S., and we are ready to renew that incredible relationship," American COO Nat Pieper said in a statement. "By restarting service to Venezuela, American will offer customers the opportunity to reunite with families and create new business and commerce with the United States."

The fate of Venezuela’s political prisoners could reveal how much power the Trump administration really has.

For years, Nicolás Maduro and his movement used song and dance to rally support. Now, millions of Venezuelans are dancing to a different political tune.
