U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Friday the cancellation of a planned second wave of attacks on Venezuela following the decision of the South American country to free a great number of political prisoners this week. Trump announced it on his Truth Social platform, which he stated as a positive step by Venezuela in its attempt to find peace, and improved cooperation between the two countries.
Trump mentioned in his post that due to such cooperation, the second wave of military action that was anticipated earlier is not needed anymore. But he affixed that the naval ships of the U.S. would not leave the area without security and safety reasons. Another point that Trump emphasized on is the fact that the key oil corporations were going to invest at least 100 billion dollars in restoring the oil and gas infrastructure in Venezuela and he was going to host the executives of these companies at the White House.
The Venezuelan government announced the release of prisoners as a peaceful and cooperative gesture, and included opposition leaders, activists, and journalists. The step occurred as tensions escalated after the dramatic U.S. military operation that occurred last week which led to the capture of the leader of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro on the charges of drug-trafficking.
The representatives of both states have stated that diplomatic and economic activity has replaced the escalation of military confrontation further. Trump has been positioning the current cooperation with Venezuela as helpful to the stability and economic growth, especially in the context of infrastructural energy. According to the analysts, the transition between the possible military attacks and the economic integration is the key turn in the U.S. Venezuelan relationships.
Critics, nevertheless, are apprehensive on the long term consequences of the cooperation since the international worries regarding the human rights and political liberty in Venezuela exist. The news has caused a lot of impetus around the world, and it shows that the diplomacy, security, and economic interests in the region strike a fine balance.
