Trump Says He Has Canceled a Second Wave of Attacks on Venezuela After Cooperation

Trump canceled planned strikes after Venezuela released many political prisoners and agreed to cooperate on oil infrastructure, with $100 billion in investments pledged by major U.S. oil firms.

  • On Jan 9, President Donald Trump said he cancelled a previously expected second wave of attacks on Venezuela due to the country’s cooperation and confirmed U.S. naval assets would remain for safety.
  • On Thursday, National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez announced Venezuela's interim authorities began releasing large numbers of political prisoners, including five Spaniards returning to Spain.
  • The White House will meet U.S. oil executives, including heads of Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Marathon and Shell, as Trump claimed at least $100 billion will be invested despite industry skepticism and Chevron's unique operations.
  • The U.S. Senate advanced a War Powers Resolution by a 52-47 vote, which could limit President Donald Trump's ability to use forces in Venezuela without congressional approval; Trump suggested U.S. oversight might last beyond a year after Maduro's capture.
  • Earlier this week the U.S. secured an agreement to export up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, and Trump said he will meet Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado next week amid market uncertainty over major oil firms.
