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 GuaidΓ³.
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'Γ©tat and widespread human rights abuses under Maduro's rule.
