Trump may declare war on Venezuela: what is known about the US president's address.

According to ТСН: US President Donald Trump may announce the beginning of military action against Venezuela in his address to the nation, scheduled for Wednesday evening your time.

This information was voiced by the famous journalist Tucker Carlson, who is a supporter of Trump and Putin. He noted that he could not confirm whether this would really happen, but one of the congressmen assured him that 'the war is coming.'

'Members of Congress were informed yesterday that war is approaching and it will be declared during Trump's address,' Carlson said on the Judging Freedom podcast.

Carlson also added that he received this information from an unnamed congressman on Wednesday morning.

Earlier, it was reported that Trump would address Americans on Thursday morning (at 4:00 AM Kyiv time).

Trump openly talks about Venezuelan oil

Today, Donald Trump explicitly stated that he demands Venezuela to return the 'stolen' oil and land from the US.

'They (Venezuela - Ed.) took the land and rights to oil, everything we had. They took it because our previous president did not control it. We want to get it back. They took our rights to oil. We had a lot of oil there. As you know, they kicked our companies out, and we want it back,' Trump said.

The US President also noted:

'This is a blockade, we will not allow anyone to pass through it... They took all our oil... They took it illegally... We want it back,'

What is the current situation around Venezuela

Recall that earlier Trump declared the Venezuelan government a foreign terrorist organization. He also imposed a 'full and complete' maritime blockade on all sanctioned oil tankers related to this country.

The US president accused Nicolas Maduro's regime of using oil revenues to finance drug terrorism, human trafficking, and murders.

According to The New York Times, Venezuela ordered its military ships to escort the oil vessels leaving the country's ports after the US President's statement about their blockade.

The situation around Venezuela has remained tense for the past few years, with ongoing political and economic crises. Trump's statements underline both the desire of the US to strengthen its position in the region and the threat to security amid geopolitical conflicts. The further development of events could significantly impact relations between states and stability in Latin America.
