President Trump committed the U.S. to rebuilding Venezuela's oil industry. This follows the capture of Nicolas Maduro by American forces. Trump announced the plan Saturday during a press briefing. He stated the U.S. will oversee a transition to new leadership in Venezuela.
Trump indicated U.S. troops would be stationed in Venezuela. He claimed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is willing to cooperate with U.S. demands. The goal is to "make Venezuela great again." Trump emphasized a long-term commitment, unlike previous interventions.
The U.S. intends to leverage Venezuela's oil reserves. This would fund the mission and compensate nationalized American companies. Venezuela possesses the world's largest proven oil reserves.
Venezuela's economy has suffered under Maduro's rule. American sanctions further crippled its oil production. The U.S. intervention aims to stabilize the country.
The future of Venezuela remains uncertain. The U.S. plans to manage the country's transition. The international community is watching closely.
