Trump Does Not Want to Occupy Venezuela, Waltz Says

The US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, has stated that the United States is not planning to occupy Venezuela. Waltz referred to the recent special forces raid that led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro as a "law enforcement operation," rather than a military occupation. The statement was made during an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. Waltz's comments aim to clarify the US position on the situation in Venezuela, where the US has been actively involved in supporting the opposition to Maduro's government. The article suggests that the US government is seeking to maintain a distinction between its involvement in Venezuela and a full-scale military occupation, despite the ongoing political and economic crisis in the country.
