Maduro’s Third Six-Year Term Spells Doom for Venezuela

Nicolás Maduro Moros , the president of Venezuela , was inaugurated Friday morning for his third consecutive six-year term.

Frida Ghitis : Maduro ’s inauguration puts an end to the furiously disputed presidential election of 2024 .

She says despite efforts by opposition parties to contest the dubious official results of the election, the event leaves the government of Venezuela almost completely isolated internationally and facing a difficult future domestically.

The inauguration also leaves Venezuela still more politically isolated.

The only foreign head of state that attended the ceremony was Miguel Díaz-Canel , president of Cuba .

A migration crisis will increase pressure on the American southern border.

Confronting and negotiating with Maduro may prove to be one of the more important tasks for a Trump administration.
