The Trump administration's campaign to topple the government of Venezuela raises the issue of whether the U.S. government is willing to adhere to the same rules of behavior it expects other nations to follow. The U.S. government helped draft the charter of the Organization of American States, which declares that no nation "has the right to intervene directly or indirectly, for any reason whatsoever, in the internal or external affairs of any other state." The charter of the United Nations, also crafted and ratified by the U.S. government, says much the same thing. Nonetheless, the Trump administration demands the installation of a new, unelected president in Venezuela and insists that "all options are on the table" to implement this action.
