   Following Through With Delcy

   Policy credibility is undermined if the United States does not follow through with Delcy on topics such as political prisoners and the destruction of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez's home, books, and disappearance of his dogs.

The US doing it along is not as strong as the US doing it with partners
