- Edmundo González, who claims to have won the disputed Venezuelan presidential election, is set to meet with President Biden at the White House.
- The meeting occurs just days before Nicolás Maduro is sworn in for his third term, despite widespread doubts about the election's legitimacy.
- The U.S. and many European nations reject Maduro's victory and recognize González as the legitimate president-elect of Venezuela.
- González's visit marks the beginning of his efforts to rally international support against Maduro's government, which he claims is undermining democracy.
- In September, the U.S. sanctioned numerous Venezuelan officials for human rights violations, further straining relations with Maduro's regime.
More details on the situation can be found in AP News, here, and in the CBS News article.
