On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump posted an image on his Truth Social platform of a map showing Venezuela as part of the United States with the words “51st state”. TASR writes about it according to an AFP report.
- Donald Trump released a map showing Venezuela as America’s 51st state.
- Delcy Rodríguez declared that Venezuela never considered the status of the 51st state.
- In an interview with Fox News, Trump admitted the possibility of accepting Venezuela as a state.
- Under the administration of Delca Rodríguez, relations between the United States and Venezuela improved.
- Venezuela opened the oil sector to private companies and allowed foreign investment in production.
Trump posted the provocative post a day after Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, said that her country “never” considered becoming the 51st US state.
She reacted to the words of Trump, who said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that he was thinking about the fact that this South American country could become a new US state. Under Rodríguez, relations between the US and Venezuela have improved in recent months. Under pressure from the US government, the country opened up its oil sector to private companies and approved foreign investment in mining.
