Miami’s Republican representatives in Congress expressed optimism on Sunday about president Donald Trump’s ability to bring change to Venezuela, as the new president reengages with autocratic ruler Nicolas Maduro and cancels legal protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S.
