U.S President Donald Trump has said that American oversight of Venezuela could last for years not just months according to the New York Times.
Trump made the remarks amid ongoing U.S. involvement in Venezuela following the recent capture of President Nicolás Maduro. He emphasized that the timeline for U.S. control and monitoring of the country would depend on evolving circumstances.
The U.S is reportedly considering taking control of Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA aiming to influence global oil prices and support economic recovery. Analysts say the move could stabilize the energy market while also funding reconstruction and governance efforts in the country.
Senator Marco Rubio described the U.S approach as a step-by-step plan: first ensuring stability then economic recovery and finally facilitating a political transition in Venezuela.
Critics have raised concerns about the long-term implications of U.S control warning of possible exploitation of resources and extended foreign oversight. However officials insist that the objective is to restore order and support Venezuelans during a period of political and economic upheaval.
As Washington asserts its influence in Caracas the world watches closely weighing the strategic economic and geopolitical impacts of U.S. involvement in Venezuela.
