According to the International analyst of CNN Lourival Sant’Anna, the seizure of a plane belonging to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States marks another chapter in Venezuela’s growing international isolation.
He highlighted that the event is part of an ongoing process of pressure on the Bolivarian regime. According to Sant’Anna, “the noose is tightening against the regime in the international arena.”
The aircraft, which was in the Dominican Republic, was taken to Florida based on US sanctions.
US authorities allege that the plane was acquired irregularly through a shell company, violating sanctions imposed on the South American country.
Dependence on controversial allies
The analyst highlights that, as Venezuela becomes more isolated, its dependence on countries such as Cuba, China, Russia and Iran increases.
According to Sant’Anna, this situation puts the Brazilian government in a delicate position, considering the extensive border shared between Brazil and Venezuela.
Challenges for Brazilian foreign policy
Venezuela’s growing isolation and its rapprochement with powers such as Russia and China present new challenges for Brazilian diplomacy.
Sant’Anna suggests that the Brazilian government needs to better define its strategy in relation to the neighboring country, especially considering the recent tensions between Venezuela and Guyana.
The situation demands a clear stance from Brazil, balancing regional interests and international alliances.
The analyst concludes that the lack of a well-defined strategy could compromise Brazil’s position as a regional leader and mediator of conflicts in South America.
