US President Donald Trump said this Friday (9) that he has decided to cancel the second wave of attacks that he had “initially planned” against Venezuela, given the cooperation he is obtaining from the South American country.
In a message on his own social network, Truth Social, the US president explained that this second wave of attacks, with which he threatened Venezuela after capturing Nicolás Maduro, “seems unnecessary”.
“Venezuela is releasing a large number of political prisoners as a demonstration of its ‘quest for peace’. This is a very important and intelligent gesture,” wrote the Republican in a message that was also released by the US State Department on the social network X.
Trump added that “the U.S. and Venezuela are working together, especially on rebuilding, in a much bigger, better and more modern way, their oil and gas infrastructure.”
“Thanks to this cooperation, I canceled the second wave of attacks, initially planned, which seems unnecessary. However, all ships will remain at their posts for security reasons,” he added.
The American president reiterated that “the big oil companies will invest at least US$100 billion; I will meet with them today at Casa Blanca”, in reference to the meeting he will have this Friday with the country’s companies to plan the extraction of Venezuelan oil.
