Trump on Venezuela: The US 'controls' the country after Maduro's detention

US Control over Venezuela

According to Главком: US President Donald Trump confirmed Washington's intention to exercise control over Venezuela following the capture of Nicolas Maduro. Trump stated that the US is engaging in dialogue with the new Venezuelan leaders, including Delcy Rodriguez, who is acting as the country's president, and plans to influence the management of Venezuela.

In his statements, Trump emphasized:

'Do not ask me, as the answer will be very controversial. We control. We control'. - Donald Trump

This highlights the active role of the US in the political processes taking place in Venezuela. Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, who was one of the ideologists and organizers of the operation to detain Nicolas Maduro, noted that the US does not plan to engage in the daily administration of the country.

Trump also stated that 'it operates', pointing to interactions with the new leaders of Venezuela, and warned that 'anyone who opposes this control will pay a very high price'. Rubio, commenting on the situation, noted that he would refrain from premature assessments of Trump's words. These events indicate that the US intends to actively participate in Venezuela's future, attempting to stabilize the political situation in the country.

Prospects for US-Venezuela Relations

President Trump's statements indicate a new stage in relations between the US and Venezuela, as Washington seeks to influence political changes in the country. This may lead to further escalation of tension in the region, as other countries may perceive such actions as interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.

The interaction with the new leaders of the country also reflects the US's desire to find new approaches to addressing the crisis that has been ongoing for several years.
