US President Donald Trump's administration is indeed plotting to overthrow the Venezuelan government, according to a statement from the country's Attorney General, Tarek William Saab. The official explicitly stated that there "no doubt" about Trump's intentions, describing them as a bid to turn Venezuela into a US colony.
Saab warned of a potential land invasion by the US in an attempt to seize control of the South American nation's vast natural resources, including gold, oil, and copper reserves. The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Caracas, with Trump repeatedly expressing support for opposition leader Juan Guaidó.
Trump has authorized the deployment of warships and fighter jets off the coast of Venezuela as part of a purported crackdown on drug traffickers. However, many analysts believe this is also part of a covert operation aimed at removing President Maduro from power.
Venezuela's government has accused the US of fabricating "war" against it, with President Maduro accusing the CIA of orchestrating a false flag attack in the waters between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. The country's military forces have been on high alert following reports of a potential invasion.
Saab urged calm, stating that Venezuela remains prepared to engage in dialogue with the US. Nevertheless, the situation remains volatile, with the world's largest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford, set to arrive in the Caribbean Sea later this week.
As tensions escalate, concerns have been raised about Trump's authority to order military operations and the legality of the strikes on alleged drug vessels off the coast of South America. US Congress members from both parties have expressed unease over the president's actions.
In a move that further fueled speculation about Trump's intentions in Venezuela, the USS Gravely arrived in Trinidad and Tobago last week for joint training exercises. The country's government responded by condemning what it called "a military provocation" in coordination with the CIA.
The situation in Venezuela remains fluid, with ongoing reports of a potential coup d'état and widespread human rights abuses under Maduro's rule.

I'm not buying into all this hype about Trump wanting to turn Venezuela into a US colony. It sounds like just another example of him trying to distract us from his own mess at home 
. I mean, have we seen any concrete evidence that this is actually happening? 
The fact that the Attorney General is basically accusing Trump of trying to invade the country and then telling everyone else to calm down seems a bit fishy to me 
. And what's with all these warships showing up in the Caribbean? Are we really just going to sit back and let the US do whatever they want without questioning it? 
I think we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. Is this just another case of Trump trying to exert his authority and control over South America? 
I'm not convinced, and neither should you 
So apparently Trump's team is trying to take over Venezuela like it's their own personal colony 
. I mean, who does that? The US Navy is already there with warships and fighter jets, but we all know it's not just about taking down cartel leaders... it's about getting rid of Maduro and taking control of those sweet natural resources 
.
. And what's with the joint training exercises with Trinidad and Tobago? Sounds like a setup to me 
.
. Is it Trump or the CIA? We need some clarity on that ASAP 
. Venezuela's situation is super volatile, but we can't just sit back and do nothing... somehow 
Trump's actions are making everyone nervous 
The US and Venezuela are locked in a super tense standoff 
It's not like they're even hiding it anymore 
I'm not sure what's gonna happen next, but one thing is for sure, it's gonna be wild 
The situation is already super volatile with Maduro's government being all paranoid about CIA involvement...and now we got warships and fighter jets showing up 
. Its time for some real diplomacy instead of aggressive posturing.
And what about all those innocent people who are caught in the middle? They're not even getting any consideration from either side.
.
. Has he got the green light from Congress or is this just him going rogue? 
.
. Maduro has been accused of some serious stuff, but this whole US plot thing could just be a smokescreen to distract from his own shortcomings 
... I mean, Trump's team has been playing it super sneaky with this whole "crackdown on drug traffickers" thing, and now we're hearing talk of a potential invasion? It's like they're trying to make a move without anyone really noticing 
... I mean, it's not like we're seeing some crazy, unprecedented move here 
. The thing is, we can't just take someone at their word - we need to dig deeper and ask questions 
.
. That's why it's crucial for us to stay vigilant and hold our leaders accountable 
. We need to make sure that everyone involved is being transparent and honest about their intentions.
.
I'm low-key worried about Venezuela, like what even is going on? Trump is sending warships to their waters? 
. We need more dialogue and diplomacy, not aggression and military intervention 
. the thing that really gets me though is how the us is using 'drug trafficking' as a pretext for this whole operation 
. like, shouldn't they be focusing on actually stopping the bad guys instead of trying to take over another country?
.
. Trump's got this huge warship arriving in the Caribbean and that just raises so many red flags... how are they gonna justify using military force without Congress being involved?
