Impact of Maduro’s Capture on China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba

The recent American raid in Venezuela has removed Nicolás Maduro, signaling President Trump’s willingness to take significant risks for U.S. interests. This action could bolster U.S. influence in Latin America, potentially destabilizing Cuba and encouraging a shift towards conservative governments in the region. However, Trump’s gamble on maintaining Maduro’s followers in power might lead to unforeseen chaos. As Venezuela’s oil industry revives with U.S. assistance, the geopolitical landscape is set to shift dramatically.
