VisitUS Recognizes Edmundo González Urrutia as Venezuela's President-Elect After Disputed Election
Nov 19, 2024, 08:39 PM
The Biden administration has formally recognized Edmundo González Urrutia as Venezuela's president-elect, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy towards the country. This acknowledgment comes after González won the disputed presidential election in July, with the U.S. now referring to him as the legitimate leader. The change in diplomatic language was confirmed by a senior administration official and was announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Brazil. The move is seen as an endorsement of the democratic process in Venezuela, with Blinken stating that 'The Venezuelan people spoke resoundingly on July 28 and made Edmundo González Urrutia the president-elect. Democracy demands respect for the will of the voters.'
