Trump elaborated that the U.S. and Venezuela were "working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure." He did not provide specific details regarding the alleged planned attacks or the nature of the cooperation.

The U.S. maintains a significant naval presence in the region, according to Trump, though he did not specify if this presence would be reduced following the cancellation. Trump also stated he plans to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado next week.

The relationship between the U.S. and Venezuela has been strained for years, marked by sanctions and accusations of interference. The U.S. has previously accused the Venezuelan government of corruption, human rights abuses, and undermining democracy. Venezuela, in turn, has accused the U.S. of attempting to destabilize the country and orchestrate a coup.

The release of political prisoners could signal a potential shift in relations. However, skepticism remains given the lack of independent confirmation regarding the scope of the prisoner release and the details of the alleged cooperation on oil infrastructure.

The U.S. government has not released an official statement beyond Trump's social media posts. Further developments are expected following Trump's planned meeting with Machado. The situation remains fluid, and the long-term implications for U.S.-Venezuela relations are uncertain.
