President Trump has repeatedly referenced the dangers of socialism, both in speeches and on Twitter. Florida, a state critical to the president’s reelection, is home to hundreds of thousands of Cuban, Venezuelan, Central American, and other expats and their loved ones who know all too well how socialism destroys families, businesses, and entire countries.

Trump has often singled out the authoritarian regime in Venezuela — rightly so. But now, his administration is letting Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro off the hook.
