Trump Vows to "Indefinitely" Control Venezuela's Oil as U.S. Seizes Two More Oil Tankers
U.S. forces have seized two more oil tankers with links to Venezuela, days after the U.S. attacked Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, making former Vice President Delcy Rodríguez the new leader of the country. "This is a decapitation without regime change," says Venezuelan economist Francisco Rodríguez. "The political system in Venezuela remains intact." In Caracas, former Venezuelan diplomat Carlos Ron says Maduro is a "prisoner of war" and that Venezuelans "are angry and are upset about this incursion from the United States." This comes as the Trump administration has announced plans to control sales of Venezuela's oil "indefinitely."

"This Is Our Hemisphere": Report from Colombia on Trump's Escalating Threats to the Region
Following his attack on Venezuela and the abduction of Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump has escalated his threats against Colombia and claimed without evidence that President Gustavo Petro is involved in cocaine trafficking. Trump and others in his administration have also threatened military action against Cuba, Greenland, Iran and Mexico in recent days.

Manuel Rozental, a Colombian physician and activist with more than 40 years of involvement in grassroots political organizing, tells Democracy Now! that Trump's attacks on Petro are lies. The former guerrilla "has seized more cocaine than any other government in the past," says Rozental. "President Petro is not a drug trafficker. President Petro has been a victim of drug mafias and their allies."
