In 2019, Maduro looked me in the eye and denied that Cuban military forces were operating in Venezuela or part of his security ring.
Today, the Cuban regime has confirmed the truth. It was a lie then, and it’s undeniable now.
Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.
