According to Global News quoting the US “Huffin Post” report, the US military launched a military attack on Venezuela in the early morning of the 3rd and forcibly took President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The US side advocated that this was an “anti-drug operation,” but some analysts pointed out that what the US is interested in is Venezuela's oil reserves. The report said that US Vice President Vance acknowledged in a statement on January 4 that oil is one of the reasons for the US to launch military action against Venezuela. The Trump administration's military action against Venezuela has also been strongly questioned in American public opinion. Vance's statement on social media X aims to “clarify” these questions. In his statement, he first explained, “You often see this statement: Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs because most of the fentanyl comes from other places, and I want to clarify this.” Vance pointed out that “cocaine is a type of drug mainly smuggled out of Venezuela,” and if restrictions can be placed, it could weaken the power of drug cartels. He then added, “Indeed, large amounts of fentanyl are coming from Mexico. This will remain a focus of our Mexican policy.” Vance then wrote, “I've noticed a lot of criticism on the oil issue.” However, he did not refute this statement; instead, he acknowledged that oil was one of the reasons for the US to launch military action against Venezuela. Vance claims, “About 20 years ago, Venezuela confiscated oil assets owned by the United States, and until recently, the country was still using these stolen assets to obtain wealth and fund its 'drug terrorism activities'. I understand the concerns about the use of military force, but can we really just sit back and watch it steal our property in this hemisphere without taking any action? This should never be the way major powers act.” The report said that Vance meant that former Venezuelan President Chávez nationalized the country's petroleum industry, basically shut out foreign companies, and reused profits for social welfare projects.
