In a series of recent statements, key U.S. officials have made bold declarations regarding the country of Venezuela, indicating a significant shift in American foreign policy. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller supported President Trump’s assertion that the U.S. will effectively govern Venezuela following the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Miller stated, “The United States of America is running Venezuela. By definition, that’s true,” during an interview on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper (The Hill).
Furthermore, Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that the U.S. will be selling Venezuelan oil “indefinitely,” signifying a long-term commitment to controlling the country’s energy resources. Initially, sales are expected to start with 30 to 50 million barrels of oil, with the revenue being managed by the U.S. government (The Hill).
Secretary of State Marco Rubio elaborated on the U.S.’s plans for Venezuela, outlining a three-phase strategy that prioritizes stabilizing the country. Rubio emphasized the importance of controlling the money generated from the sales of Venezuelan oil, indicating a comprehensive approach to managing the nation’s resources (CBS News).
These developments have sparked reactions from political leaders across the U.S., with figures from Indiana expressing their views on the military operation in Venezuela. Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation, highlighting the diverse perspectives surrounding U.S. involvement in the region (Indianapolis Recorder).
The statements made by U.S. officials reflect a significant shift in American foreign policy towards Venezuela, with a clear emphasis on asserting control over the country’s resources and governance. The implications of these actions are likely to have far-reaching consequences for both Venezuela and the broader geopolitical landscape.
