- Days before a U.S. military operation that led to the removal of Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela, Trump administration lawyers provided legal approval, asserting that the action would not constitute a war in the constitutional sense and would serve important national interests.
- This legal backing underscores the administration's assertive stance on foreign intervention, particularly in Venezuela, where Maduro's regime has faced increasing pressure from the U.S. government amid allegations of corruption and human rights abuses.
- The operation reflects a broader strategy by the Trump administration to exert military and economic pressure on Venezuela, including recent actions such as the seizure of oil tankers linked to black market operations, indicating a multifaceted approach to destabilizing Maduro's government and addressing issues related to global oil markets.
