Donald Trump over the weekend gave credence to a widely discredited conspiracy theory suggesting that the Venezuelan government influences voting systems globally and orchestrated his 2020 election defeat.

Increasing Hostility regarding Caracas

While White House officials have in the past claimed that Trump's policy regarding Caracas is largely influenced by concerns about migration and the drug trade, his recent remarks imply that this antagonism may also be based on an implausible theory that was rejected as baseless by a court in the past.

Internal Doubts
