guaido, recognizing as the only democracy elected institution in venezuela.eeking to increase pressure on the regime led by a brutal dictator in maduro, as well as to try to work with some of our allies and partners. the hard part is that for all of those efforts, which i support, we obviously have not gotten the results that we need, and one of the things i would really welcome doing, iffen could firmed, is to come and talk some of that through with you and with others on this committee because we need an effective policy that can restore venezuela to democracy, starting with free and fair elections and how can we best advance that ball. i think there's some things that we can look at, quickly better, stronger coordination and cooperation with like-minded countries. maybe we need to look at how we more effectively target the sanctions that we have, so that regime enablers really feel the pain of those sanctions and certainly, i believe there's more that we need to try to do in terms of international assistance given the tremendous suffering of the venezuelan

and venezuela, i'm sure you're aware maduro utilized negotiations as a delay tactic.it's so egregious that even the vatican says we're not having more negotiations, in fact, in strongly worded letter to the pope, you remember the last time we met-- i'm paraphrasing, remember the last time we met, you agreed to things and you never did any of them, there's no purpose meeting anymore. effort after effort to meet with maduro's regime resulted in nothing, he uses it for time to delay and uses it for the opposition and unfortunately, multiple players have fallen into that trap. the reality of it is that he will agree to all sorts of short-term reversible things, you know, release of political prisoner, what have you, but at the end of the day he's not ever going to agree to free and fair elections because he can't win them. is it your view that our stans towards venezuela should change in essence we should no longer recognize juan guaido and enter into negotiations with maduro? >> no. first with regard to a number of steps taken towards venezuela in recent years, including

being used by the by did ministration to attack the country with the largest known oil reserves venezuela because i understand biden wants to recognize one white oh well i think there will be continued attempts to after size both u.s. soft power and also that comes with a very ugly side. sanctions and other destabilization after its efforts to fund proxies and spur asymmetrical warfare and so on which call comes with a tremendous human cost and often doesn't get the same public scrutiny i think if the american people knew what their tax dollars is funding these are these i've got states and places like yemen they would be at abt horrified at it i think if the american people knew what was happening in libya and their their their names and these interventions if they think they knew the the extent of u.s. involvement and i bet a sailor and elsewhere they would be horrified but that is at least a far cry from the direct military ventures that you saw in past and ministrations in past year but we're in and we're in the middle of a coronavirus global pandemic you expect by going to use sancti
