      It’s possible he’s just making a deal with Maduro, who he’ll send back to Venezuela as his pawn. I guess we’ll see.

        Maduro is a former bus driver, union organizer, and firm supporter of the Bolivarian revolution. It’s very unlikely that he’d be made a comprador, and even less likely that the supporters of the Bolivarian revolution would let it slide.

        iirc Maduro was already in negotiations to surrender himself to Trump as a part of some deal that would lift the sanctions. But the negotiations took too long for Trump.
