Latin America is navigating uncertain times after the US military launched a precise operation across various parts of Venezuela, forcibly seizing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, to face court proceedings in New York. 🎬
“The press conference by President Trump left more questions than answers,” Jorge Heine, former Chilean minister and ambassador to China, told CGTN. He warned that “this might be the first of a number of other military operations” by Washington in the region.
Heine added, “Regime change doesn’t happen just by removing the head of state. It’s another what happens the morning after.” With the region bracing for ripple effects, many young people and entrepreneurs are asking: what’s next?
In the meantime, Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, has shown her support for Maduro, and the Defense Minister has publicly stood by him. As Latin America finds itself in “uncharted waters,” the path forward remains unclear. 🌊
Whether this marks a new chapter of US involvement or a standalone mission, its impact will echo across politics, economies, and communities from Mexico City to Buenos Aires. 🌎
For students, professionals, and travelers across the continent, this dramatic turn raises big questions about regional stability and the future of democracy and markets.
