Sure, but people starving because of sanctions.
It is same game we see everywhere, where governments stopped selling their oil for dollars.
In none of those countries where the US brought "democracy" and "freedom" is anything better since. Neither in Afghanistan, nor Irak nor Libya.
I do not know a lot about Maduro. Have no Idea if he es a good President or not. But he was elected even after the US called for boycott, gave the Russians mining rights for gold, stopped selling oil for Dollars and disagreed to an unfair free-trade agreement with the US.
So guess who want to see this man dead.

I remember there also were some discrepancies when Bush was elected.

And Washington taught us by the way:
thou shalt not meddle with other countries elections
