Doral, Florida

Doral, Florida, a city in South Florida with a significant Venezuelan population (approximately 40%), is currently newsworthy due to its connection to events in Venezuela. Recent news highlights the city as a center for reactions to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States. Following US strikes on Venezuela, celebrations erupted in Doral, reflecting the strong anti-Maduro sentiment within the Venezuelan-American community. Furthermore, Doral hosted the 'Americas Counter Cartel Conference,' where the Trump administration pledged continued military operations against Latin American gangs. This underscores Doral's relevance as a focal point for both Venezuelan diaspora reactions to political events in their home country and as a location for US policy discussions related to Latin America.
