Washington, D.C., United States — U.S. President Donald Trump has said Venezuela is not yet ready to conduct elections, arguing that the country needs further political and institutional stabilization before a credible vote can take place.
CDA News Nigeria gathered from reports that Trump made the remarks while addressing questions about Venezuela’s political transition. He acknowledged that the country had made progress but maintained that conditions were still not suitable for free and fair elections.
The comments come amid continued international attention on Venezuela’s political future and discussions over when the country should return to the polls. Analysts say the timing and credibility of any future election will depend on security, institutional reforms, and broad political consensus.
“Venezuela is not ready yet for elections,” Trump said, adding that while progress had been made, more work was needed before the country could hold a credible vote.
CDA News Nigeria reports that no official timetable has been announced for new elections. International observers are expected to continue monitoring political developments as discussions on Venezuela’s democratic transition evolve.
