Donald Trump (Trump)

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is at the center of recent news regarding political events in Venezuela. He is newsworthy due to his administration's actions, including the U.S. military's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid. Trump has stated the U.S. intends to "run" Venezuela, and Maduro is facing federal drug charges in New York City. This intervention has been condemned by some as a violation of international norms. The capture has created a power vacuum in Venezuela, potentially leading to instability and conflict. Trump's actions have shaken up Latin American politics, dividing the region and raising concerns about future U.S. interventions. Despite criticism, some, like Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, have praised Trump for his commitment to their freedom, even awarding him her Nobel Peace Prize medal, a move condemned by Norwegian politicians.
