Trump Management Denies Seeking Regime change in Venezuela
Washington D.C. – The Trump administration has stated it is not pursuing regime change in Venezuela, responding to claims made by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The clarification comes amid heightened tensions following a U.S. military strike targeting a vessel suspected of drug trafficking off the Venezuelan coast.
Maduro recently asserted that the United states was attempting “regime change through military threat,” a charge President Trump directly addressed. This exchange unfolds as Venezuela continues to grapple with a severe political and economic crisis, impacting millions and drawing international concern. The U.S. denial aims to de-escalate rhetoric and possibly open avenues for dialog, though the recent military action signals a firm stance against illicit activities emanating from Venezuela.”The goverment of the United States should abandon its plan of violent regime change in Venezuela and in all of Latin America and respect sovereignty, the right to peace, to independence,” Maduro declared on state television. Despite these pointed remarks, Maduro expressed respect for President Trump, adding, “Venezuela has always been willing to converse, to dialogue.”
President Trump’s response did not directly address Maduro’s specific allegations of a regime change plot. However, he underscored a new approach to combating the drug trade with Tuesday’s military operation, which resulted in the deaths of 11 individuals and the sinking of a venezuelan boat allegedly carrying illegal narcotics. The incident highlights the administration’s willingness to take direct action against what it deems a threat to U.S. national security.
