American Secretary of War Hegseth came to Muñoz Air Base in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he gave a morale-boosting speech to American soldiers preparing for an invasion of Venezuela.
It seems that the U.S. invasion of Venezuela is already on the verge of happening. Now, Trump's goal is to seize oil-rich areas at America's doorstep, such as Venezuela's oil, as well as Canada and Greenland, which he has previously mentioned.
Venezuela possesses the world's largest proven oil reserves (over 30 billion barrels, accounting for 17% of the global total). However, this "fat meat" is not under U.S. control. Because Venezuela refuses to use the U.S. dollar for oil trade, which challenges the dominance of the U.S. dollar. If the United States successfully overthrows the Maduro regime and installs a pro-American government, it will be able to control these oil resources and strengthen its global energy influence. However, the biggest characteristic of war is uncertainty. If the U.S. military cannot achieve a quick victory and gets bogged down in a prolonged war, it could end up losing money. Therefore, Western media believe that the U.S. military should still apply maximum pressure to force Maduro to surrender.
