Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the alleged planned military action. He noted that a large U.S. naval presence would remain in the region. "This is a very important and smart gesture," Trump posted, referring to the release of prisoners and Venezuela's pursuit of peace.
The claim comes amid ongoing political and economic instability in Venezuela. The U.S. has maintained a complex relationship with the Venezuelan government, marked by periods of tension and cooperation. The U.S. has previously imposed sanctions on Venezuela, particularly targeting its oil industry, in response to concerns about human rights and democratic governance.
Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, is reportedly scheduled to meet with Trump next week. This meeting suggests a continued U.S. interest in Venezuelan affairs and potential support for opposition forces.
The situation remains fluid, and further details regarding the nature of the cancelled attacks and the extent of U.S.-Venezuelan cooperation are yet to be clarified. The White House has not released further statements.
