In a big relief to Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has assured it of not attacking it further. In what may be called an attempt to seek peace and restore normalcy in the South American country after coming under severe international condemnation, he announced Friday that he was cancelling the second wave of attacks. He said that as Venezuela was releasing a large number of political prisoners as a sign of "seeking peace", he wouldn't attack it. His dramatic announcement came following last week's U.S. military operation that resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.
Taking to the social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote, "This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure." He added in the post, "Because of this cooperation, I have canceled the previously expected second wave of attacks, which looks like it will not be needed; however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes."
Earlier, he told Fox News that Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was coming to Washington next week. He said so after previously dismissing the idea of working with her, saying that "she doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country". It is believed that he made a U-turn after Machado heaped praise on him and announced her decision to return to Venezuela. Just before this, the US president said on Wednesday that the U.S. was "getting along very well" with the Venezuelan government, led by acting interim president Delcy Rodriguez.
Trump also told Fox News that he would meet oil executives at the White House on Friday and that the oil companies would spend at least $100 billion in Venezuela, which he repeated in his Truth Social post.
