Trump: Many Cuban soldiers were killed, but the operation in Venezuela was
Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump said today that "many" Cuban soldiers were killed during the latest US operation in Venezuela, which he described as an extraordinary military achievement.

During a speech in Washington, Trump appeared triumphant, saying that US forces "caught the authorities in Caracas by surprise" as, according to him, the lights of the capital went out at the moment of the intervention.

Meanwhile, on the ground, accounts from Venezuelan citizens show a much more tense reality. Caracas residents, most of whom asked to remain anonymous for security reasons, talk of military patrols on every street corner, armed groups of civilians supporting the government and constant checks on mobile phones. "There is fear everywhere. We are acting very cautiously because we do not know how the government will behave towards us," a 34-year-old entrepreneur told the BBC.

Another resident of the capital said that, at first glance, life seems to be going on normally, with shops and businesses open, but added that the control over citizens has increased significantly. “People are afraid to talk on the phone or send messages,” he said. In the coastal city of Maracaibo, residents report sudden price increases of up to 30% for basic products such as bread.

International correspondents point out that there is still no clear consensus on the legality of the US intervention. Under international law, the use of force against the territory of another state is permitted only in the event of a direct threat, while US law gives federal authorities wider latitude to arrest wanted persons anywhere in the world.

In his speeches, Trump has often linked Venezuela not only to the drug trafficking allegations against Nicolás Maduro, but also to the oil issue, speaking of “stolen oil” and damaged American interests. He has also attacked political opponents, claiming, without providing concrete evidence, that the protests against Maduro’s overthrow are funded by the “radical left.”

Nicolás Maduro came to power in 2013, following the death of Hugo Chávez, and since then Venezuela has been in a deep economic, political and humanitarian crisis. Millions of Venezuelans have fled the country, many of them to the United States. US administrations, including Trump's, have accused Maduro of links to criminal networks and electoral fraud, refusing to recognise his legitimacy. The latest crisis and US intervention have increased fear among the civilian population and raised serious questions about the future of stability in Venezuela and the international order. /BBC
