Former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the recent US seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's airplane, expressing his views on the matter. Trump criticized the current administration for lifting the oil sanctions imposed on Venezuela's state-owned oil company, which he had implemented during his presidency.
The US seized Maduro's plane in the Dominican Republic after determining that its acquisition violated US sanctions and was linked to criminal activities. This move has further strained the already tense relationship between the two countries and highlights the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption within Maduro's government.
Earlier this year, the US reimposed sanctions on Venezuela's oil and gas sector in response to the Maduro government's failure to conduct what the US deemed as a fair and inclusive election.
The situation in Venezuela has had ripple effects on US politics, with millions of Venezuelans fleeing the country, many of whom have sought refuge at the US-Mexico border.
Trump's comments on the seizure of Maduro's plane underscore the complex dynamics at play between the US and Venezuela, as both countries navigate political and economic challenges.
