After the change of power in Venezuela, America has made it clear that elections will not be held there immediately. America says that it is necessary to first manage the country and improve the situation, only then the public can get a chance to vote.

Hours after President Nicolas Maduro, who was arrested in a US operation, appeared in court in the US, President Donald Trump said that new elections will not be held in Venezuela within the next 30 days.

What did Donald Trump say?
In an interview given to NBC News, President Trump said that the condition of Venezuela is very bad and holding elections in such a situation is not possible. He said, ‘First we have to fix the country. People can’t even vote right now.

Maduro arrested in US operation
America arrested Nicolas Maduro under ‘Operation Absolute Resolve’. He was brought to America and presented in the New York court. Maduro has been accused of serious allegations related to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.

US plan on reconstruction of Venezuela
Trump said that America is working to rebuild Venezuela’s economy. Especially there is a plan to restart the country’s oil sector. In this, help of American oil companies can be taken and the government will compensate them for the expenses. Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves, but due to wrong policies, sanctions and poor infrastructure, oil production has been greatly reduced.

We are not at war with Venezuela- Trump
Trump said that America is not at war with Venezuela. He made it clear that America is taking action against drug smugglers and international criminals, and not against the people of Venezuela. Trump said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House official Stephen Miller and Vice President JD Vance will look into matters related to Venezuela.

America’s terms with the interim government
According to reports, America has told interim leader Delsey Rodriguez that he will have to stop drug smuggling, expel people from anti-American countries and finally hold free elections.

Venezuela’s ousted President Nicolas Maduro and his wife pleaded innocent in federal court on Monday (January 5, 2025) on serious charges including drug trafficking. He told the judge that he was still the President of Venezuela. Nicolas Maduro and his wife came out of the court after the hearing which lasted for about 30 minutes. The next hearing of this case will be on March 17, 2026 at 11 am.

I am a decent man: Nicolas Maduro

Nicolas Maduro’s appearance came two days after a US military raid in which he was arrested in Caracas. Maduro described himself in front of the judge as the President of Venezuela and said that he had been kidnapped. Judge Alvin K. on charges including narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine. When asked by Hellerstein, Maduro said, ‘I am a decent man. I was arrested from my home in Caracas, Venezuela.

I am a prisoner of war: Maduro

Maduro’s wife Cilia Flores also declared herself completely innocent. While leaving the court, Maduro said, I am a prisoner of war. Maduro’s lawyer called it a military kidnapping and a violation of the law. This is not the first time that such an argument has been made on behalf of an accused. More than three decades ago, Panama’s Manuel Noriega accused the US of violating international law and his rights to due process by invading Panama and arresting him abroad. The court then refused to consider the legality of the attack on Panama.

Trump’s warning to Venezuela’s interim leader

President Donald Trump said the US controls Venezuela and warned its interim leader to cooperate or pay a heavy price. Delsey Rodriguez, who served as vice president during Maduro’s regime, invited the US government to cooperate and stressed, ‘Venezuela has a right to peace, development, sovereignty and a future.’

At the end of his appearance in the court, Maduro waved towards the crowd, after which a person standing there came to him. The man told Maduro, ‘You will have to pay a price on behalf of Venezuela.’ In response, Maduro said, ‘By the grace of God I will be free.’

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been arrested by America. Maduro is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. This is not an ordinary jail. It is known for high-profile and dangerous accused. America has arrested Maduro from his own country Venezuela on charges of drug smuggling. A case will be filed against them. However, this action of America has drawn reaction from all over the world.

Here, Maduro has hired a high profile lawyer to defend himself. Maduro is being defended in court by Julian Assange’s lawyers. The name of the lawyer is Barry Pollack. According to the notice filed in the court, Barry Pollack, a high profile defense lawyer, has previously represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Now Nicholas is seen in the American court defending Maduro. Pollack is a partner at Harris St. Laurent & Wechsler (LLP). Earlier, he had also fought the case of former accountant of Enrop Corp, who was acquitted after the trial.

These lawyers will fight the case of Maduro’s wife

According to a separate filing, Houston-based former federal prosecutor Mark Donnelly is fighting the case of Maduro’s wife. In 2023, he worked as an investigator for the Texas House of Representatives in the investigation and impeachment trial of state Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton was acquitted. Currently contesting the Republican nomination for the US Senate.

Who is Julian Assange, what was the case?

Australian-born journalist and hacker Julian Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006. In the year 2010, Wikileaks had leaked some intelligence documents of the US Army. Then this digital platform came before the eyes of the world. After this the US government started investigation against Wikileaks. Due to this legal action which lasted for a decade, he accepted his guilt in front of the American court. After this he was released, and he returned to Australia.

China has issued a stern warning to America regarding America’s attack on Venezuela and the arrest of its President Nicolas Maduro. China’s Foreign Ministry called it a serious violation of international law and basic norms of international relations. China said, ‘Such action violates Venezuela’s sovereignty and poses a threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region.’

There should be an emergency meeting of UN Security Council: China

Beijing said, ‘We call on all parties to respect Venezuela’s right to freely choose its development and work to restore stability and order there. China supports emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss US military attacks on Venezuela. China is ready to work with the international community to safeguard the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of international justice.

‘No matter what happens we will remain friends’

China bluntly said that no matter what changes occur in the international scenario, it will always remain a good friend and ally of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. There is continuity and stability in China’s policy on the LAC region. China said, ‘We adhere to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. We respect the choice of the people of LAC and never draw the line on the basis of ideological differences.

We do not target anyone to increase influence: China

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said, ‘China-LAC cooperation is based on the principles of equality and mutual benefit. We never seek sphere of influence nor target any party. China, establishing diplomatic relations with LAC countries, strengthening strategic trust, supporting each other on issues related to our core interests and major concerns, including national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.

China has made a big bet on Venezuela

China’s tension has increased after America’s action on Venezuela because it has a lot at stake in Venezuela. China has given loans and other financial assistance worth about $105.6 billion to Venezuela. Caracas opened its doors to China long ago. Last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping had promised a credit line of $9.2 billion for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). There are 33 countries in CELAC organization.

Ultimately, US President Donald Trump took complete control of Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were picked up from their home by the US Army and are now lodged in a prison in Brooklyn, New York, USA, which is called hell on earth. The power of Venezuela is now in the hands of interim President Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump has threatened that if Delcy does not obey Trump, his fate will be worse, but the question is what next.

After occupying Venezuela, who is the next country on Trump’s target? Is Trump, who is busy in making America Great Again, going to make a similar attack on any other country? After all, which are the countries in Trump’s hit list, where he wants to take over and how this entire planning of Trump wants to take America to that era where after the Second World War there was no one left to challenge the American power, today we will talk in detail.

Till now, America has been trying to interfere in every country where it benefits either itself or its allies. And sometimes America has been interfering in the internal affairs of other countries to demonstrate its power, for which it has sometimes been making the excuse of humanity, sometimes of ideology and sometimes of national security. After the Second World War, American forces have entered from Korea to Cuba, from Vietnam to Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Yemen and now Venezuela and have fulfilled the insistence of their President. But now America is changing, its view of the world is changing and now it wants to concentrate only on America by gathering its interests spread all over the world. And wants to return to the principle which was introduced by US President James Monroe on December 2, 1823.

Then James Monroe had said in his speech that European powers should not make any new interventions in the Western Hemisphere i.e. North and South America. If any European country interferes in the affairs of the independent countries of the American continent or tries to occupy them, then it will be against America. During this time, James Monroe also said that America would not interfere in the internal affairs and wars of Europe. This speech of the American President was called the Monroe Doctrine or the Monroe Doctrine. But subsequent American presidents ignored this principle and went to war with many different countries of the world. Sometimes we won and sometimes we suffered terrible losses. But now Trump is again talking about returning to the Monroe Doctrine and limiting American interference from the world to Western Hampshire only.

For this, in November 2025, America has released its 33-page National Security Strategy with the signature of President Donald Trump, in which the complete planning for America’s future has been explained in detail. The biggest change in this is regarding America’s foreign policy. Trump writes-

‘After the Second World War, American foreign policy experts wanted only America to dominate the entire world, but now we will interfere in other countries only when those countries are directly affecting America and those countries are a direct threat to America.’

After his changed foreign policy, Trump’s entire focus is only on America. But when there is unrest all over the world, there is a war going on between Russia and Ukraine, there is always an atmosphere of tension in Middle-East Asia and China is continuously growing as a new power, in such a situation, can Trump establish peace in the world by only focusing on America, protecting America’s sovereignty and making America more economically prosperous? Trump has also given a sequential answer to this in his document. But before that let us tell you what Trump wants for America now. So Trump wants-

1. America’s sovereignty, its borders, its economy and its cultural identity can be protected.
2. The American army should have complete control over the American borders and displacement can be stopped.
3. The American army should be made the most powerful army in the world, because a powerful army and economy is the best way to stop wars and maintain peace. For this, America will invest 1 trillion dollars to modernize its army.
4. No one should be able to threaten America, which is endowed with nuclear power, with the help of nuclear weapons. America’s goal is to develop the world’s most advanced nuclear deterrent force.
5. America’s industries and its energy base should be restored.
6. America should become self-reliant in maintaining its economic dominance and innovation.
7. There should be a cultural revival of America, so that Americans can be proud of their great heritage and promote it.

Now Trump wants all this for his country. But neither America nor Trump are willing to interfere abroad. So Trump has a plan for this too. Trump wants.

• Apart from America, no other foreign power could raise its head in the Western Hemisphere.
• Fair trade should be ensured in the Indian and Pacific Ocean regions and China should be prevented from establishing dominance in the region.
• Support for the freedom of Europe
• Peace should be established in Middle East Asia without war, for which emphasis should be given on dialogue.
• America’s supremacy in new age modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.

And how will all this happen, Trump has told that also.

• Trump’s current objective is to make his empire so powerful in both America, i.e. North America, which includes countries like the United States, Canada and Mexico, and South America, which includes countries like Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela, that no one can challenge him here. Trump is expressing his commitment to stop China’s increasing dominance in Latin American countries. For this, they are increasing their strength through economic agreements, defense deals and industrial cooperation.
• To stop China in Asia, Trump wants to strengthen his relations with Japan, South Korea, India and Australia. Apart from this, Trump has also made a separate plan for Taiwan, which China claims as its own, which includes business and defense deals.
• While supporting the independence of Europe, Trump’s plan is that NATO countries should end their dependence on America and stand on their own feet. For this, Trump’s plan is that NATO countries should spend at least 5 percent of their GDP on their army. Apart from this, America has spread its presence in the Middle East and East Africa, which Trump now wants to contain and wants America’s intervention only when there is a direct threat to America.

This means that now Trump seems completely changed. Now Trump’s main focus is only America, which includes both Americas i.e. North America and South America. In such a situation, if Trump sticks to his words, then it can be expected in the future that America will no longer interfere in the affairs of any other country and now even if there is a war somewhere in the world, America will keep itself away from it. hopefully. The world survives on hope. But it cannot be said when Trump will break whose hopes. Because just now Trump has bombed Venezuela’s hopes and has sent the army and captured its President and imprisoned him. And this is also a part of Trump’s plan, in which he is determined to destroy every threat arising against the USA in the Western Hemisphere, i.e. North America and South America.

‘What has Trump done, so much power…’, Pakistani expert surprised by US action on Venezuela

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.

On the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the US Army, Pakistani experts have said that even China and Russia could not save him. Referring to US President Donald Trump, he said that if there is power, it is like this. He said that Maduro was meeting the Chinese earlier, but they could not save him.

Expressing surprise at Trump’s action, Qamar Cheema said, ‘You should understand a little about how life is meaningless… what Trump has done. If you have power then be like this. People talk about a multi-polar world, there is no multi-polar world, there is only a uni-polar world. He said, ‘Where are the Chinese President and the Russian President? Who can save? Maduro was getting help from the Chinese earlier, but when the American army captured him, the Chinese could not save him. A very different type of order has come before us.

Qamar Cheema said that Nicolas Maduro was in power in Venezuela since 2013. Before this, Hugo Chavez was in power since 2001 and these people have been in power for 25 years. He said that oil nationalization had taken place inside Venezuela. That means all the resources had come to the government. Because of this, many things were happening. Americans had been saying for a long time that the Venezuelan government used to operate with narco-terrorist organizations.

Qamar Cheema said, ‘Americans have a great love for oil. When Mr. Trump came, he named the drill Baby Drill. Sara Palen used to be one, she basically called it drill baby drill in 2018 and she said that we need to do domestic oil and gas drilling. The second thing is that ever since Trump came to power, he has done some things. First of all he highlighted this thing, he changed the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Then he said that Canada is ours, Greenland is ours, then he said that we have to Make America Great Again. Understand what kind of temperament they have. Qamar Cheema said that whatever Trump has done, he has shaken everything including international law. We don’t believe in this thing.

There is a stir all over the world regarding the increasing tension between America and Venezuela. On one hand, there is a serious debate going on about the possibility of war. Everyone is reacting to this issue. Island Cricket Board has written something in one of its social media posts which has come in the headlines, many people are seeing this post as a taunt on US President Donald Trump.

Island Cricket takes a dig at Donald Trump

In fact, on January 3, when news of the American attack on Venezuela came to light. On the same day, Island Cricket made a funny tweet on social media platform X. In this tweet, Island Cricket wrote, “Venezuela has oil, Greenland has rare earth minerals and fortunately the island has only volcanoes, glaciers and very mediocre cricketers.” At first glance this post seems like a sarcasm on itself, but considering its timing and context, it came to be considered a sarcasm on Donald Trump.

It is noteworthy that Donald Trump has earlier also been giving statements regarding Venezuelan oil and Greenland. He even talked about including Greenland in America. In such a situation, this tweet by Island Cricket seemed like a satire on American foreign policy to many people.

Only the island cricketers got angry

However, the island’s own cricketers got angry over this funny post. The players did not like the fact that the board described him as a “very average” cricketer. After this, Island Cricket retweeted the same tweet the next day i.e. on January 4 and this time gave clarification in a more light-hearted manner. The board wrote, “Our players have requested that the tone of the post be changed. They do not like being called “very average” and would rather be called “extremely disappointing.”

The board is known for funny tweets

This answer also quickly went viral on social media and people praised the humor of Island Cricket. Island Cricket Board has been known for such funny and sarcastic tweets even before this. Even after the Indian team lost the Test series on South Africa tour, the board took a jibe at Gautam Gambhir and wrote that they have a vacant post of head coach, but no one from India should apply.

The island is an associate member of the International Cricket Council and cricket there is still in its nascent stage. Despite this, the presence of Island Cricket remains quite popular on social media.

America entered Venezuela and arrested President Nicolas Maduro as part of a major military operation. This operation was named Operation Absolute Resolve. The US Army arrested Maduro in his own bedroom, handcuffed him and took him straight to New York.

After this action, the stir in global politics has intensified. The heads of power of many countries are now apprehensive that America might take similar action against them. After Maduro’s arrest, many countries with anti-American stance have become alert. Leaders of some of these countries are increasing contacts with powerful countries like Russia and China regarding their security, so that any possible American action can be avoided.

Increasing pressure on Iran Khamenei

Iran has been openly opposing America for a long time. Slogans like ‘Death to America’ have been common there since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Iran has been going through a serious economic crisis in recent months, leading to large demonstrations across the country. Now slogans of death to dictator are also being heard in these demonstrations. US President Donald Trump has supported these demonstrations, which Iran has termed an external conspiracy. Supreme leader Ali Khamenei has given strict orders to suppress the movement.

Colombia: Gustavo Petro’s sharp statements

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, who came to power in 2022 and is the country’s first leftist president. They are also said to be America’s target. Petro had even called Donald Trump a war criminal and appealed to American soldiers not to obey Trump’s orders. It is believed that for now the US will wait for the 2026 US elections before taking any major steps in Colombia.

North Korea Kim Jong Un’s stern warning

The sharpest reaction to the US action on Venezuela has come from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. However, it is not easy for America to directly reach North Korea, because the borders of Russia and China come in its way. Apart from this, due to Kim’s possession of nuclear weapons, the response to any American move could be very dangerous.

Cuba’s old front against America

Cuba is the oldest name among anti-American countries. President Miguel Diaz-Canel described US actions in Venezuela as state-sponsored terrorism. In this protest, large demonstrations took place on the streets of Cuba and thousands of people gathered in front of the American Embassy. Cuba is now strengthening its relations with Russia, China and Iran.

Belarus Lukashenko’s power and Russia’s shadow

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has been in power since 1994 and is Europe’s longest-serving leader. His victory in the 2025 elections was also accused of rigging, just as Maduro was, but any attack on Belarus would be considered an attack on Russia. For this reason, the possibility of America taking direct action is considered less here.

Maduro’s arrest becomes a warning signal

The arrest of Nicolas Maduro has made it clear that America no longer wants to be limited to just the politics of pressure. This incident has alerted all those countries and leaders who openly oppose America’s policies. Global politics may become more tense in the coming times.

America attacked Venezuela and arrested President Nicolas Maduro. Since this case, Donald Trump is in the news all over the world. Trump has alleged that Maduro did not take action against drugs. Following Trump’s order, American Special Forces entered and attacked Venezuela, but now the question is whether America can take action by entering another country in this manner. What is its foreign policy and what is the rule of the United Nations regarding this?

According to international law or the UN Charter, it is not legal to use force on any sovereign country or rather to attack it. Military action can be considered legitimate only under two circumstances. The first situation is self-defense. If a country is attacking another country then it can take action in self-defense. The second situation is regarding the permission of the United Nations. If the UN Security Council approves military action then action can be taken.

What does America’s foreign policy say?

According to the report published on the website of ‘Cornell Law School’ America’s foreign policy can attack another country under three circumstances.

• The first circumstance is that if there is an issue of national interest, such as civil security or a threat to the country, then it can attack.
• The second situation is that it can take action against any terrorist organization, even if the terrorists are in some other country.
• The third situation is that if some other country attacks America first then it can take action.

America cannot act arbitrarily

The important thing is that the United Nations does not allow America to act arbitrarily, but still it has been accused of this many times. America has many times taken action without the permission of the United Nations. The same was done in the case of Venezuela.

After Venezuela, which two countries is Trump eyeing?

After Venezuela, Trump now has an evil eye on Cuba and Denmark. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Cuba is in a lot of trouble. Rubio declined to comment on future steps, saying the US administration has not been supportive of the Cuban government and supported Maduro. America has also warned Denmark. A statement was given from the US side regarding Greenland.
