The 51st State: Trump Considers Incorporating Venezuela into the U.S. Territory
Trump personally called Fox News journalist John Roberts, revealing his ambitious plans regarding Venezuela. The host stated that the U.S. president is considering annexing this Latin American nation into American territory—an unprecedented territorial expansion for the United States in over a century.
John Roberts disclosed: "He told me he's seriously considering turning Venezuela into the 51st state of the United States."
The U.S. has already deployed specialized vessels to transport 13.5 kilograms of uranium from Venezuela’s RV-1 reactor to the Savannah River nuclear waste storage facility.
In addition, Trump previously indicated that the U.S. will take further actions against Cuba.
Establishing Venezuela as the 51st U.S. state is more of a grandiose political statement by Trump, lacking legal, public opinion, and geopolitical feasibility in reality—typical of America’s loudmouth-style political rhetoric.
Trump’s core true intention lies not in annexation, but in securing resources and nuclear control.
Rather than empty talk about “incorporating territory,” the tangible actions involve removing nuclear materials from Venezuela’s reactors, firmly controlling the risk of nuclear proliferation in Latin America; meanwhile, eyeing Venezuela’s world-class oil reserves, leveraging geopolitical intervention to dominate the region’s energy lifelines.
