The Trump administration hit Venezuela with new sanctions Wednesday targeting 13 current or former top officials in President Nicolas Maduro’s government
Power leads to corruption, and Venezuela’s presidential system is a failure. The nation should adopt a dual head system: the president are limited to one 5-year term and he/she and relatives are barred from running for office for 6 years afterwards.

When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people have the right to resist. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The US should lead the way in adhering to the principles behind the UN Charter and implementing One World under One Set of Laws.
