With the fraudulent swearing in of Nicolas Maduro As constitutional president of Venezuela, there are many voices calling for a different solution to try to remove the dictator from power in the neighboring country after more than 12 years in office and 25 years of Chavismo. For this reason, from Venezuelan lands and in the rest of the continent, many ask the question of whether there is a possibility that donald trumpwho will take office as president of the United States next Monday, authorizes a military invasion.

Trump is no stranger to the situation in Venezuela. During his first period in power, the Republican president was a harsh enemy of the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro. It was during his government, in 2020, that the Prosecutor’s Office of that country (which is appointed by the executive branch) issued the indictment in which it accused Maduro and Diosdado Cabello of conspiring with the Colombian guerrilla to “flood the United States.” United with cocaine” and use the sale of drugs “as a weapon against” said country. In addition, it imposed severe economic sanctions against the regime.
On the other hand, on several occasions, the magnate assured that they had considered a military solution to remove the Venezuelan leader from the Miraflores Palace.
This last thesis was revealed by Trump’s former national security advisor, John Bolton, who revealed the secrets of the Republican’s first government in his book ‘The Room Where It Happened’. There, he said that the then president did contemplate a military exit with an invasion of the US army in Venezuelan lands, but decided to support the opposition led at that time by Juan Guaidó. Even so, he later reportedly abandoned Venezuela’s interim president, suggesting that he had lost a lot of strength.
Bolton adds that Trump considered meeting with Maduro, whom he would have described as someone “tough and intelligent” and who would not be easy to intimidate. “I would only meet with Maduro to discuss one thing: his peaceful departure from power!” Trump said at the time, alluding to that revelation, on his Truth Social account.
