President Trump also announced a "significant gold deal." He noted that Venezuela has large gold reserves and fertile land; however, the previous system did not allow the country to utilize these resources in its own interests.
“We have reached an agreement on a gold deal that will allow our countries to cooperate on the sale of Venezuelan gold and other natural resources,” Trump emphasized.
On the night of January 3, the USA conducted military operations against Venezuela. As a result of the operation, American forces captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, transporting them to New York, where they were charged with serious offenses, including drug terrorism.
