Diosdado Cabello's photos with John Barrett and U.S. military officers divide the opposition

NTN24 revisited images of U.S. chargé d'affaires John Barrett alongside Diosdado Cabello and cited journalist David Placer, who says Cabello leaked the photos to clean up his image. The channel recalled that Washington offers a reward for his capture.

Patricia Poleo said Cabello walking free is itself a bad sign. Daniel Lara Farías said the photos hurt the U.S. strategy in the eyes of Venezuelan public opinion.
