As Trump targets Venezuela, its allies Russia and China show little signs of support

Russia and China, longtime allies of Venezuela, appear to be offering limited support amid escalating tensions with the US. Both countries had historically backed Venezuela politically, financially, and militarily, but recent developments suggest that this support is now more symbolic than substantive. Venezuela's economic crisis and the US military presence in the region have led Moscow and Beijing to prioritize other international concerns, signaling a shift in their level of support for President Nicolás Maduro. Both countries have refrained from providing tangible military assistance, with experts suggesting that changes in the geopolitical landscape and economic factors have influenced their stance on the Venezuelan crisis.
