""incoherent strategy.""
""A lot has been spent, and little has been gained," Goldwyn said. "It's really hard to see what the upside is. Maduro has been removed, but the rest of the regime are all still in place.""

The U.S. naval blockade of Venezuela has cost an estimated $700 million and continued after two more oil tankers were seized on Jan. 7. President Donald Trump is pursuing increased sales of Venezuelan crude to U.S. refineries and seeking to entice American oil companies to rebuild Venezuela's dilapidated industry. Operating the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group has cost more than $9 million per day since October, excluding casualties from late August boat strikes and Jan. 4 attacks that led to arrests. The White House framed Maduro's arrest as enhancing U.S. safety and economic opportunities, while critics call the strategy incoherent and costly with limited gains.
