Gold prices surged following the news, with analysts predicting that the precious metal could reach an unprecedented high of $5,000 an ounce by the end of the year. This bullish outlook is supported by major financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, who have long been bearish on crude oil due to rising geopolitical tensions.
However, not everyone is celebrating the US intervention in Venezuela. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has condemned the military operation, stating that it violates international law and makes the world a less safe place. The UN’s stance reflects growing concerns about the legality and consequences of such actions on the global stage.
Questions have also been raised about the US government’s long-term plans for Venezuela. President Donald Trump’s vague assertions that the US will “run” the country have raised eyebrows among lawmakers and analysts alike. Critics argue that the lack of clarity and transparency surrounding the operation could have far-reaching implications for the region and beyond.
In a briefing to lawmakers, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the US operation in Venezuela as a decisive and justified move. However, dissenting voices within Congress and the international community continue to express skepticism about the legality and implications of the military intervention.
As global markets continue to react to the unfolding situation in Venezuela, investors and policymakers are closely monitoring developments to assess the long-term impact on commodity prices and geopolitical stability. The US intervention in Venezuela has undoubtedly set off a chain reaction that will reverberate across the world for months to come.
