In terms of the U.S. government's position, as we have heard it articulated publicly and in our private conversations, it's essentially saying that it is not ready to have that conversation yet. I would say the momentum is very far from the offing, unfortunately, at least from the U.S. perspective.
As we've heard throughout this hearing, on the ground, Venezuelans themselves are itching for an opening in the form that could possibly come. In fact, recent polling shows that María Corina Machado continues to be by far and overwhelmingly the most popular politician in the country.
Here, we have almost a replay of tensions that Venezuela has experienced now for years, in which you have tension between a regime—now supported by and in an alliance with the United States—that is very reluctant to relax its clench on power and have conversations about a democratic transition, and the growing calls for it from the people themselves.
