Trump Administration Signals Intent for Regime Change in Venezuela, Targeting Maduro for Election Theft and Threats to Puerto Rico
Jan 18, 2025, 04:55 PM
The incoming administration of Donald Trump is signaling a strong desire for regime change in Venezuela, targeting President Nicolás Maduro. Trump's team has characterized Maduro as a 'criminal' who 'stole his election,' jailed political rivals, and even threatened to invade Puerto Rico. A Trump adviser indicated that the administration would not oppose the idea of Maduro residing alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Moscow. This stance reflects a broader strategy to isolate Maduro's regime, which is perceived as increasingly vulnerable. The comments suggest that Venezuela will be a significant focus during Trump's second term, with key figures in the administration, including future Secretary of State Marco Rubio, known for their opposition to the Maduro government.
