Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congress member representing Florida's 27th district, has shared her perspectives on international politics through recent social media posts. Her comments reflect on the policies of former President Donald Trump and the ongoing political situation in Venezuela.
On February 18, 2025, Rep. Salazar expressed support for Trump's foreign policy approach towards Latin America, stating that "La política exterior de Trump ha tenido un gran comienzo. Él entiende que 'America First' significa un reajuste de la política hacia América Latina." She further emphasized that by defending freedom and democracy in the hemisphere, the United States becomes "más seguro, fuerte y próspero."
In another post made later that day, she addressed the situation involving Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's team seeking refuge in the Argentine Embassy in Caracas. Rep. Salazar criticized Nicolás Maduro's government by asserting that "El régimen de Maduro está librando una guerra sin tregua contra el equipo de @MariaCorinaYA refugiado en la Embajada de Argentina en Caracas." She highlighted Maduro's fear and suggested that his tactics would not succeed.
She reiterated these sentiments in an English-language tweet posted shortly after: "The Maduro regime is relentlessly waging war on @MariaCorinaYA’s team taking refuge in the Argentine Embassy in Caracas." This message echoed her earlier statement about Maduro's perceived fear and ineffective strategies.
