President Trump’s post-capture interview on Hannity pulled no punches: Venezuela’s path to democracy runs through its oil fields. Washington won’t rush polls in a shattered state, he insisted Thursday night.
Under Maduro, Venezuela crumbled—economy gutted, institutions weaponized to ship felons and fentanyl north. Trump called the takedown straightforward: ‘Everyone wanted it; we delivered.’ The fortress raid succeeded spectacularly, snaring the dictator amid heavy defenses.
No American soldiers died, though two pilots fought grave wounds and prevailed. Trump lauded the team’s daring: ‘Straight into the lion’s den—who pulls that off loss-free?’ Maritime drug interdiction soared to 97% effectiveness, a border security triumph.
Reconstruction starts with energy. U.S. firms will pour resources into Venezuela’s oil backbone, securing billions in assets day one. Global markets stand to gain from lower prices. Freeing long-forgotten political prisoners signals hope amid the rubble.
America commits fully until order reigns. ‘Our safety hinges on their stability—no drugs flooding in, no criminals crossing,’ Trump emphasized. This blueprint blends compassion, commerce, and countermeasures for a safer hemisphere.
