The Prime Minister’s bewildering flip-flopping on Venezuela reveals an alarming lack of steady leadership. First, she endorsed the United States’ extrajudicial killing of alleged Venezuelan drug runners, a stance that needlessly inflamed regional tensions. Then, she pursued an OFAC licence to secure energy deals with the very nation she had publicly chastised. Now, after the Venezuelan vice-presi-dent suggests cancelling such deals, she claims she never relied on doing business with Venezuela. This incoherent and reactive pattern of governance is not diplomacy; it is a spectacle of immaturity and instability. It demonstrates a profound unprepa-redness for the complexities of national leadership and risks leaving our country’s energy security in peril. We deserve better. When UNC wins, our diplomacy loses!
