At the Doral Park Country Club outside Miami, fevered machinations are under way to overthrow a dictator. For years, in this palm-lined enclave, Venezuelan exiles have schemed to pressure US politicians to bring down Nicolás Maduro, convinced history would one day turn in their favour.

Marco Rubio, the secretary of state who is the son of Cuban immigrants, has worked to convince President Trump that Maduro is not only a socialist dictator, but a “narco-terrorist” out to destroy the United States with boat-loads of fentanyl-laced cocaine weaponised to poison American children.
