US President Donald Trump has revealed that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has offered to give his country's natural resources to ease tensions between the two nations. However, in a bizarre twist, Trump said Maduro had made this offer not just for its economic value but also because he "doesn't want to fuck around with the United States."
The claim comes as US military action against Venezuela continues to escalate. Last week, The New York Times reported that Maduro had offered a stake in Venezuela's oil and other mineral wealth in recent months to stave off mounting pressure from the US.
Trump has defended the strikes, saying they are part of an "armed conflict" with drug cartels, but human rights groups have warned that the president's actions may violate international law. Juanita Goebertus Estrada, Americas director at Human Rights Watch, described the attacks as "extrajudicial executions" and said they breached international human rights standards.
The strikes have caused unease among politicians on both sides of the aisle, with some Republicans questioning how the military operations are being conducted. Meanwhile, Venezuelan officials have proposed alternative candidates for Maduro, including Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez and her brother Jorge, who is president of the national assembly.
It appears that Maduro's offer to give away Venezuela's natural resources may be part of a broader strategy to ease tensions with the US. However, Trump's language has taken a strange turn in recent days, with the US president using profanities in diplomatic contexts. This latest outburst has raised eyebrows among observers, who question whether Trump's style is undermining the credibility of US diplomacy.
The situation remains volatile, with Venezuela's government accusing the US military of aggression and violating international law. The strikes have already resulted in at least 27 deaths, according to reports, and it appears that tensions between the two nations are unlikely to ease anytime soon.

, so Maduro offers to give away Venezuela's natural resources like they're playing a game of Monopoly 
? I mean, "I don't want to fuck around with the US" is definitely not a diplomatic phrase 
. Trump needs to work on his charm, instead of going in with guns blazing 
. And can we talk about how much drama this guy brings to every situation? It's like he's trying out for a role in a soap opera 
.
. And what's up with Trump using profanities in diplomatic talks? That's just bad form, even if you're trying to get tough 
. I'm not saying Venezuela doesn't have its issues, but this approach is just not gonna end well 
.
. At least Maduro's willingness to give away resources might be seen as a positive move 
? But let's keep an eye on how things unfold because, history-wise, this doesn't exactly look good for the US 
. It's like, does that really help the situation or just make it worse? And Maduro's offer to give away Venezuela's resources sounds like a pretty decent way to ease tensions... but Trump's response is just weird 
. I mean, can you believe Trump is using profanities in diplomatic contexts? It's like he's trying to undermine his own credibility 
. Has anyone else noticed how unpredictable Trump's tweets can be? It's like he's trying to create a firestorm and then just watch it burn 
. We need to get back to being calm and rational leaders 
.
