Reuters — U.S. urges regional leaders to isolate Venezuela's Maduro

The United States urged regional leaders on Saturday to take stronger steps to isolate Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, as it joined a declaration condemning the worsening humanitarian crisis and political repression in the South American nation.…

“The United States of America will not stand idly by as Venezuela crumbles,” Pence said in a speech. “Every free nation gathered here must take stronger action to isolate the Maduro regime. We must all stand with our brothers and sisters suffering in Venezuela.”

When the US mixes up "American liberal values" with the economic and geopolitical interests of the US power elite, the pitch loses credibility.
