Two American presidents. Two completely different Venezuela strategies. One unchanged result: Nicolás Maduro remains in power. This Crisis Chronicles analysis examines Trump's "maximum pressure" sanctions versus Biden's "selective engagement" with documented evidence and measurable outcomes.
🎯 WHAT WE ANALYZE:
Trump's maximum pressure: oil embargo, 400+ sanctions, Guaidó recognition
Economic impact: GDP collapsed 75%, hyperinflation 1.7M%, 4.1M refugees fled
Biden's approach: maintained sanctions but issued Chevron license
Revenue shift: Venezuela $2B (2020) → $12B (2024) in oil revenue
Why both strategies failed to achieve regime change
Who benefited: China, Chevron, Maduro's inner circle

Was Trump's maximum pressure closer to working despite the humanitarian cost? Or did Biden's approach prevent worse suffering while accepting Maduro would stay? Share your analysis—especially if you're Venezuelan or Colombian.
🎓 ABOUT THIS ANALYSIS:
We present documented evidence from multiple perspectives: US officials from both administrations, international organizations (UN, IMF, OPEC), independent researchers, human rights groups, and Venezuelan analysts. No partisan bias—just evidence-based analysis.
⚠️ CONTEXT:
This analysis focuses on US policy impacts, but Venezuelan government mismanagement, corruption, and authoritarianism are the primary causes of the crisis. Economic sanctions create complex effects difficult to isolate from other factors.
