Trump says US will be ‘very strongly involved’ in Venezuela’s oil industry after military attack | Donald Trump
Foreign military intervention in Venezuela raises serious concerns about sovereignty and potential harm to citizens.
Donald Trump stated the US will be "very strongly involved" in Venezuela's oil industry following a military operation that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The president described the raid as "lethal and powerful," saying it was necessary to stop drug trafficking and secure Venezuelan oil reserves. The operation, which included elite US special forces like the Delta Force, resulted in the capture of Maduro and his wife, who were transported to the USS Iwo Jima before being transferred to New York. The US has faced criticism from various international leaders, including Russia, Cuba, Iran, Argentina's president, and Brazil's president, for violating Venezuelan sovereignty.
