President Donald Trump is losing interest in Venezuela after a bid to oust President Nicolas Maduro by US backed opposition figures in April failed, according to the Washington Post.
An official told the Post that Trump had always thought of Venezuela as "low-hanging fruit" on which he "could get a win and tout it as a major foreign policy victory."
Trump reportedly "chewed out" his national security adviser John Bolton and Latin America policy director Mauricio Claver-Carone as Maduro clung to power.

Why did it fail? Who are the U.S. backed opposition figures?

Who is this official?

Well, considering he has the attention span of a fruit fly and he probably doesn’t even know where Venezuela is, I’m sure even the cliff notes version of events was too boring for him. Learning about what happens in the world is nearly not as fun as bullying others and bitching about being”mistreated”.
