Fox News Latino quotes Adrienne Arsht Center Deputy Director Jason Marczak on Venezuela securing a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council:
Venezuela has close political and business ties to permanent security members Russia and China. Given the widening geopolitical divide between the U.S. and Russia, Venezuela’s inclusion on the Security Council could prove a boon to the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It will play into the hands of the Russians as the Venezuelans will take orders directly from the Russians,” Jason Marczak, the deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center told Fox News Latino recently.
