Venezuela's Maduro Says the US Is Fabricating a War

Maduro warns US military actions could lead to prolonged conflict as Venezuela faces diplomatic isolation and economic collapse amid regional tensions.

  • Earlier this year, U.S. naval forces deployed to the Caribbean with warships, stealth jets in Puerto Rico and a nuclear submarine, deepening decades-long tensions with Caracas.
  • The regime sustains itself through a military-centered coalition restructured with Cuban government help, while illicit economies like drug trafficking and gold smuggling underpin the Venezuelan armed forces' loyalty.
  • Oil output collapsed from over three million barrels per day to about half, most Venezuelans lost faith in elections after July 28, and around 800,000 Venezuelans live in the U.S. under temporary protection.
  • Pentagon warnings and analysts say a full invasion is unlikely, as Maduro is isolated with only Cuba and Nicaragua as dependable allies while Brazil deployed troops over Essequibo claims.
  • The U.S. rephrased its approach toward national security, shifting from the Trump administration’s 'maximum pressure' posture, with observers suggesting this may pressure Caracas on deportations or negotiations.
