Washington D.C. – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that the United States is currently engaging with individuals in Venezuela who have recently been sworn into office. The comments, made public early this morning, suggest a potential shift in U.S. policy towards the South American nation.
“We are dealing in Venezuela with the people who have just taken the oath,” Trump stated, offering no further details on the specific individuals or the nature of the engagement. This statement raises questions about the U.S. government’s recognition of the current political landscape in Venezuela.
In related remarks, Trump also mentioned a potential “second wave” contingency plan for Venezuela, stating, “We were prepared for a second wave in Venezuela, and everything was ready, but I don’t think we will need it.” The nature of this plan remains unclear, adding to the ambiguity surrounding U.S. intentions.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the self-proclaimed interim President of Venezuela has convened the first meeting of her cabinet. The meeting, the details of which are still emerging, signals an attempt to consolidate power and establish a functioning government. The international community is closely watching these developments as Venezuela navigates a complex and uncertain political future.
The situation in Venezuela remains highly volatile, and any shift in U.S. policy could have significant ramifications for the region. DZWatch will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
