Russia and China show limited support for Venezuela amid US pressure

What happened: As former US President Trump targets Venezuela, experts report that Russia and China have largely withdrawn meaningful military and financial support from the country.

Why it matters:

  • Reduced backing from major allies weakens Venezuela's international position.
  • The Venezuelan government may face increased challenges amid ongoing US pressure.

MNN Take: While Venezuela has historically relied on Russia and China, current geopolitical and economic factors appear to have limited their willingness or ability to provide substantial aid.
