Former US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Venezuela’s newly installed leader, signaling a tough stance from Washington as longtime strongman Nicolás Maduro is set to appear in court. Trump said the change in leadership does not mean the United States will ease pressure, stressing that any new government must be held accountable for past actions and future commitments.
Maduro’s upcoming court appearance marks a dramatic moment in Venezuela’s political crisis, with international attention focused on potential legal consequences and the country’s next steps. Trump’s remarks underline continued US scrutiny of Venezuela’s leadership transition, warning that attempts to evade justice or reverse reforms would face a strong response.
