Donald Trump Venezuela 2025: Harsh threat regarding deported migrants
Amid an increasingly tense geopolitical landscape, former US President Donald Trump returned to the spotlight with a direct message to the government of Nicolás Maduro. Through his Truth Social platform, he issued a forceful warning: if Venezuela does not accept the return of citizens deported from the US, the consequences would be, in his words, "incalculable."
The White House toughens its stance against Nicolás Maduro
Trump, seeking to reposition himself politically ahead of the elections, focused on a new aspect of the conflict with Venezuela: the forced repatriation of migrants with criminal records or mental health problems. His demand is clear: he demands that Caracas receive these people immediately.
The message was delivered in a belligerent tone and accompanied by capital letters, a trademark of the former president, warning that failure to comply with this demand could result in severe reprisals.
Growing tension in the Caribbean and cross-accusations
Trump's warning comes as the Venezuelan government denounces what it calls an "undeclared war" by the United States . In recent days, incidents have been reported involving vessels in the Caribbean, which, according to Venezuelan officials, were attacked by U.S. forces under the pretext of being linked to drug trafficking.
The outcome of these operations was tragic: at least 14 people died under unclear circumstances. Meanwhile, Washington is supporting an anti-drug operation that includes the deployment of military vessels off the Venezuelan coast and fighter jets stationed at nearby bases, such as the one in Puerto Rico.
Venezuela denounces militarization and demands investigation
The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry has taken its complaint to the UN, requesting an investigation into the attacks on the vessels. They accuse the US of intervening in waters without clear jurisdiction and of mounting a political and military pressure apparatus to weaken the Chavista regime.
Although the United States claims the destroyed vessels were carrying narcotics, it has so far presented no conclusive evidence, raising doubts about the true purpose of these actions.
The migration conflict escalates the political confrontation
Trump's demand is part of a broader strategy to tighten immigration policies , especially in an election year. Under the slogan of "protecting Americans," he seeks to legitimize tougher immigration measures, even if it means further straining relations with governments like Maduro's.
The figure of the Venezuelan migrant, in this context, becomes a symbol of the conflict between two opposing political models: conservative populism in the United States and authoritarian socialism in Venezuela.
