U.S. President Joe Biden expressed his support for a new election in Venezuela, following Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's suggestion as a potential solution to the political crisis in the country. Both Venezuela's ruling party and the opposition claim victory in the July 28 contest, leading to a contentious situation.
Biden's endorsement of a new election aligns with international calls for transparency and fairness in the electoral process. The U.S. and other Western countries have criticized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro's claim of victory, citing concerns over voting fraud and electoral conditions.
