While the U.S. backed the acting president, eased sanctions, and pushed privatization, political crackdowns continued with over 80 new detentions. Trump publicly endorsed the idea, citing Venezuela’s $40 trillion oil reserves — but the plan’s logistically insane, with language, constitution, and Congress hurdles. The acting president shut it down, insisting on Venezuela’s independence. This insane twist adds fuel to the already volatile U.S.-Venezuela relationship as Maduro’s ouster reshapes the country’s future.
