In January 2026, former President Donald Trump stated that the United States would "take back" Venezuela's oil. Trump argued that this action was justified as reimbursement for past US spending. He further claimed the US would "run" Venezuela after seizing President Nicolas Maduro and transporting him to New York. The rationale behind these actions, according to Trump, was to recoup financial investments made by the US. The statements were made publicly, though the specific context and forum were not detailed in the report. The report indicates a potential future intervention by the US in Venezuela's affairs and resources.
