Core Viewpoint - The Trump administration's decision to allow Chevron to maintain its assets in Venezuela is seen as a positive move by Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez, who supports a return to Trump-era policies regarding Venezuela and its regime under Nicolás Maduro [1][6][15].

Group 3: Broader Implications for U.S. Policy - The current situation is framed as a struggle between democracy and dictatorship, with Gimenez urging U.S. interests to remain aligned with democratic principles and to avoid any financial support to the Maduro regime [9][15]. - The article highlights the importance of U.S. policy in supporting democratic movements in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela and Cuba, where strongman regimes are in power [10][15].
