Trump also said, quoted by C-Span, that after the conflict in Iran ends, he will learn Spanish and run for president of Venezuela.
“After I'm done with this, I might go to Venezuela. I'll learn Spanish quickly. I'm going to Venezuela. I'll run for president“, Trump said.
He stressed that learning Spanish “won't take a long time“ thanks to his abilities.
The situation in Venezuela is extremely dynamic and marked by radical political changes after the US military intervention at the beginning of the year.
In early January 2026, during a military operation in Caracas, the head of state Nicolás Maduro was captured by US commandos and taken to the US, where a trial began against him and his wife.
The US actions provoked sharp reactions, with Venezuela's allies such as China and Brazil condemning the attack. Western media are debating the legitimacy of the intervention and compliance with international law.
The situation remains closely linked to control over oil resources and the future of economic sanctions under the Donald Trump administration.
Venezuela is currently in a transitional period with unclear future governance, with international attention focused on whether these events will lead to lasting democratization or further destabilization.
