Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, asserts that U.S. President Donald Trump's true intentions regarding Venezuela have become clear.
This statement follows Trump's announcement that Venezuela's interim government has consented to ship between 30 million and 50 million barrels of crude oil to the United States. Trump characterized this arrangement as advantageous for both nations, stating that the revenue would be managed under his oversight.
In a reaction posted on X, Ahmad expressed that Trump's recent military actions in Venezuela and the ousting of Nicolás Maduro have revealed Washington's true aims in the region.
“It is now abundantly clear, even to those with minimal understanding, what President Trump’s goals in Venezuela truly are,” he commented on X.
It is worth noting that Trump ordered U.S. forces to conduct a military operation in Venezuela on January 3, which resulted in Maduro's capture. Subsequently, Delcy Rodríguez was inaugurated as the interim president of Venezuela.
The U.S. intervention has elicited a mix of support and criticism on the international stage, with a wide range of reactions emerging in recent days.
