Trump Cancels Second Wave of Attack on Venezuela

Donald Trump announced that he has canceled a second wave of attacks on Venezuela, in response to the release of political prisoners by the Caracas government. Despite the cancellation, US warships will remain in the area for security reasons. Trump anticipates at least $100 billion in investment from major oil companies, with whom he will meet at the White House. The decision by Trump follows the release of two leading members of the Venezuelan opposition, Enrique Marquez and Biagio Pilieri. The release is seen as a sign of “seeking peace” by the Venezuelan government. Trump emphasized that the US and Venezuela are cooperating on the reconstruction of oil and natural gas infrastructure. The cancellation of the attack is attributed to this cooperation, as it appears to be no longer necessary. The announcement by Trump has sparked discussions about US policy towards Venezuela and the potential economic implications of the cooperation.
