In a shocking turn of events, the United States has reportedly launched airstrikes on Venezuela, following orders by President Trump. The move comes after the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by American special forces. President Trump has declared that the US will be “very strongly involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry, stating that American oil companies will go in and start “making money” for the country.
According to a report by Twitchy, President Trump has ordered airstrikes on Venezuela, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing political crisis in the South American nation. The decision to launch military action against Venezuela has raised concerns about the potential for further destabilization in the region.
The Hill reported that during an appearance on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,” President Trump stated, “Well, I see that we’re going to be very strongly involved in it,” referring to Venezuela’s oil industry. The President’s comments indicate a clear intention to exert American influence over Venezuela’s economic resources in the aftermath of Maduro’s capture.
Furthermore, NBC News highlighted President Trump’s assertion that US oil companies will play a key role in rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure. This move signals a significant shift in US foreign policy towards Venezuela and raises questions about the long-term implications for both countries.
In response to these developments, various social media platforms have been abuzz with discussions about the US intervention in Venezuela. Mastodon users have expressed a range of opinions, with some highlighting concerns about foreign intervention, while others speculate on the broader geopolitical implications of the US military action.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the US airstrikes on Venezuela and the subsequent statements by President Trump regarding American involvement in the country’s oil industry. The impact of these actions on Venezuela’s political landscape and the wider region is likely to be significant and will require careful monitoring in the days and weeks ahead.
