Edmundo González Urrutia won the 2024 election in Venezuela. He was the choice of the people.
The Maduro-Delcy Rodríguez ticket stole power instead.
Now Trump says he is freeing the Venezuelan people by making Rodríguez his puppet.
So no, there is *nothing* to celebrate today.

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now
