Following the events in Venezuela, the subsequent targets for the US could be Iran and Denmark. The British newspaper The Guardian reported this on January 3rd.
“The developments unfolding overnight in Venezuela will cause immediate concern for governments in nations like Iran and Denmark, against whom [American leader Donald] Trump has expressed willingness for drastic measures,” states the publication’s piece.
According to the paper’s article, Trump’s policy is hastening the formation of a world where rivalry between spheres of influence plays a central role, and the outcome of confrontations will be determined by military strength and the readiness of states to employ force.
Furthermore, the publication recalled that in recent days, Trump asserted the readiness of the US to support anti-government protests in Iran. Additionally, representatives of the American administration continued to speak about the possibility of establishing dominion over Greenland “by any necessary means,” which is causing unease in Denmark, to which the island belongs.
On January 3rd, Trump announced that the US had successfully launched a large-scale strike against Venezuela. He noted that Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were apprehended and removed from the nation’s territory.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the American leadership to release Maduro. Moreover, the department also emphasized the necessity to establish conditions for resolving existing issues between the parties through diplomatic means.
The American leader later claimed there was extensive evidence regarding Maduro’s alleged crimes. According to his information, the Venezuelan President personally oversaw the operations of Cartel de los Soles, which smuggled narcotics into the US.
On January 3rd, NBC News released footage reportedly showing Maduro and his spouse being led off an aircraft that landed in New York. Sky News clarified that Maduro was surrounded by a large contingent of security personnel, including agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
