After the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, tension between America and Venezuela has reached its peak. Meanwhile, America has issued another strict order for Venezuela, which has created a stir in both global geopolitics and the oil market. America has clearly said that Venezuela will have to reduce its relations with four countries, China, Russia, Iran and Cuba. Among these countries, Russia is also a close friend of India, due to which this entire incident can have an impact on the strategy of many countries including India.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has given clear instructions to Venezuela’s interim President Delsey Rodriguez that Venezuela should have an exclusive partnership only with America in oil production. Give priority to America in the sale of Heavy Crude Oil. Apart from this, limit or end economic and strategic relations with China, Russia, Iran and Cuba. According to ABC News report, America has also set a condition that these countries should be completely excluded from Venezuela’s energy and security infrastructure.

price of increasing oil production

The report quoted three unidentified American sources as saying that Venezuela will be allowed to produce more oil only if it accepts all these conditions of America. Although the White House has not yet made any official comment on this report, looking at the time and events, it is clear that America is trying to take strategic advantage of Venezuela’s weak situation.

Maduro’s arrest and regime change

This entire incident is happening at a time when Nicolas Maduro has been arrested by US special forces and taken to New York. After this Delsey Rodriguez was declared the interim president. With this change of power, America has intensified its efforts to change Venezuela’s foreign policy and oil policy according to its own.

Old relations with China-Russia-Iran-Cuba

Venezuela has long received investment and technology from China, military and security cooperation from Russia, and ideological and strategic support from Iran and Cuba. This was seen especially during the reign of Hugo Chavez and Maduro. Suddenly breaking these relations would be a historic U-turn in Venezuela’s foreign policy, the impact of which could be seen from Latin America to Asia.

Trump’s big announcement of 50 million barrels of oil

Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday (January 6, 2026) evening that Venezuela will send 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to America. At the current market price its value could be around $2.8 billion. Trump said, ‘This oil will be sold at market price and the income from it will be used for the benefit of both the countries.’ He also announced that the administration will meet with U.S. oil companies next week to discuss investment in Venezuela

There is a global uproar after the US military action in Venezuela and the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. Meanwhile, China is under a lot of tension. The reason is clear: China’s political, technological and economic investment in Venezuela is very deep. As soon as Maduro is removed from power, there is a fear that America may get access to those sensitive Chinese targets, which Beijing has been protecting for years.

America’s arrest of Maduro along with his wife and presenting them in New York court is not limited to Venezuelan politics only. This directly connects to the US-China rivalry. China fears that if a pro-US government is formed in Venezuela, the Chinese military-related technology, satellite stations and digital networks present there may come under US control or surveillance. This situation is also serious for Beijing because Venezuela has been China’s most reliable strategic partner in Latin America.

Chinese satellite tracking station is the biggest threat

China has established some very sensitive satellite tracking and ground stations in Venezuela, which are now under threat. This includes El Sombrero and Lupa Tracking Station. Apart from this, El Sombrero Tracking Station located at Captain Manuel Rios Airbase is included. It has a backup station in Lupa, Bolivar state. These stations are extremely important for China as they handle telemetry, tracking and command operations for the VRSS-2 satellite (launched in 2017). VRSS-2 is a Citizen Earth Paragraph satellite, but its data can also be used in security and strategic analysis. These have been made by China Great Wall Industry Corporation. China fears that America’s access to these stations could harm its satellite capabilities and surveillance networks.

Radar and air defense systems also at risk

China has installed advanced radar systems and air defense technology in Venezuela, which is reportedly capable of tracking even fifth-generation fighter aircraft. If these systems fall into the hands of America, then China’s military technological advance may suffer a serious blow.

China’s deep penetration in oil business

China is Venezuela’s largest foreign investor and one of the top buyers of oil. As of 2014, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) has modernized old oil fields. He upgraded modern drilling rigs, waterflooding systems and refineries. Because of this, oil production in some areas has increased up to 8 times. Now if the new government comes under American influence then the contracts of Chinese companies may be cancelled. Sanction or confiscation action may be taken. This will be a big blow to China’s energy security interests.

Crisis on telecommunication network also

China has built digital and telecommunication infrastructure in Venezuela. Huawei and ZTE have done a lot of work for 4G network. Apart from this, a lot of emphasis has been laid on mobile phone assembly and cyber security system. Huawei has been active in Venezuela since 1999. China fears that Huawei and ZTE may be banned under American pressure. US surveillance on network data and infrastructure may increase.

After the US military action in Venezuela, the tension in Latin America is deepening. This time Colombia may be America’s target. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro himself has made such a claim. On this he warned US President Donald Trump and said, ‘If you have the courage then come, I am waiting right here.’

Donald Trump had said in a statement after the Venezuela operation that Colombia is being run by a sick leader who supplies cocaine to America. Trump even said that it might be a good idea to take military action against Colombia. After this statement, political turmoil intensified in Bogota (capital of Colombia).

If there is an attack, there will be a conflict – Petro

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro responded to Trump and said, ‘If America attacks, the situation will go out of control.’ He warned that in the event of an American attack, the country may be forced to take up arms and a large-scale guerrilla conflict may begin. Petro also said that if an attempt was made to arrest a popular President, the public’s anger would pounce like a jaguar.

Big statement of Petro who has given up his weapons

Petro, who was once a leftist guerrilla himself, said he had vowed to give up his arms decades ago, but he might be ready to fight again if the country’s sovereignty came under threat. This statement is much discussed at the international level.

Colombia government adopted a balanced approach

However, after the President’s sharp statement, the Foreign Ministry of Colombia tried to handle the situation. The ministry clarified that Colombia wants international relations based on dialogue and mutual respect and does not accept any kind of threat or use of force.

There has been tension in America-Colombia relations before also

This is not the first time that Trump and Petro have come face to face. In October, the US had imposed sanctions on Petro and some of his family members on drug trafficking charges. Colombia is considered to be the largest center of cocaine production in the world, due to which America has been angry for a long time.

Next target after Venezuela?

It is worth noting that a few months ago, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had also openly challenged Trump. After this, America conducted a major operation and arrested Maduro. Now the challenge of Petro is being seen from this angle, due to which the fear has increased that US-Latin America relations may become more tense.

After the change of power in Venezuela, the statement of Nicolas Maduro Guerra, son of ousted President Nicolas Maduro, has come to light. He said that some people have betrayed Venezuela and those faces will be exposed in the coming times. In the audio recording released on social media, he said that history will tell who was the traitor, history will reveal it.

We will raise flags of honor: Guerra

Maduro Guerra said, ‘They want to see us weak. We will raise the flag of respect and dignity. Does it hurt us? Of course it hurts, we feel angry, but they won’t do it, damn it. I swear on my life, my mother, Cilia, he will not be able to do this. Guerra, son of Nicolas Maduro, called on his supporters to take part in public movements on January 4-5 to rally around the leadership and strengthen unity.

Guerra is the leader of drugs network: America

Maduro Guerra is a member of Venezuela’s ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV). US federal prosecutors allege that Guerra is the leader of a large drug network that used government assets, military, and political influence to transport narcotics from Venezuela to the United States.

Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are currently in custody in America. He will be presented in a federal court in New York on Monday (January 5, 2026). America has accused him of narco-terrorism and drug smuggling conspiracy.

Delsey Rodriguez becomes interim President of Venezuela

After the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been made the interim President of Venezuela. He is considered the most trusted supporter of Nicolas Maduro. US President Donald Trump has talked about recognizing Delsey Rodriguez as President. Delcy Rodriguez already faces sanctions from the US and the European Union and has been an important face of the Maduro government.

US President Donald Trump has sent a strict message to South American country Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro. Trump told Maduro to immediately call his criminals and crazy in Venezuela, which the US wants to deport. The US President threatened that if Maduro refuses for this, he will have to pay a very heavy price for it.

We want venezuela to immediated all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which incluses the west in the world insane asylums, that venezuelan “Leadership” has been found in the future United States of America. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even…

The relationship between America and Venezuela has been stressful for a long time. Venezuela’s economic decline, oil crisis and human rights violations have always been part of international debate. Donald Trump’s government has already imposed an economic ban on Venezuela. Now after this threat of Trump, tension between the two countries may increase further.

Tension between Venezuela and America

In recent times, there has been a boom in American military activities between Venezuela and the US in the Caribbean region. According to the Reuters report, on Saturday (13 September 2025), five American F-35 fighter jets were seen landing at the former Roosevelt Rhodes military base in Siba, Puerto Rico. This step has been taken following the order of President Donald Trump, in which he directed to deploy 10 stealth fighter jets as part of a comprehensive campaign against drug cartans.

Clear message of Donald Trump

Puerto Rico, which is an area associated with America. It is located about 937 km from Venezuela. In recent times, the presence of helicopters, ostery aircraft, other transport aircraft and soldiers has also been observed at this hideout. This step has increased military tension in the area. Donald Trump recently made it clear that the US considers drug cartans and narcotropic as a big threat to its national security. Under this strategy, he ordered the Pentagon that 10 f-35 jets should be deployed in the area.
