Trump Administration Considers Annexation of Venezuela
Washington D.C. – President Donald Trump announced this week that his administration is evaluating the potential annexation of Venezuela, according to a statement made during an interview with Fox News on December 12, 2026. Speaking with John Roberts, Trump indicated he is exploring the possibility of Venezuela becoming the 51st state of the United States.
The proposal stems, according to Trump, from a desire to expand the American flag and is linked to Venezuela’s significant oil reserves, estimated to be worth $40 trillion. This isn’t the first time the former president has expressed interest in acquiring sovereign territories. Previous statements have included consideration of annexing Canada, Greenland, Panama, and Cuba.
The White House has not released further details regarding the scope or timeline of this potential action. Legal and international experts have expressed significant concerns regarding the implications of such a move, given Venezuela’s existing political situation and its status as a recognized independent nation. The news follows ongoing diplomatic efforts regarding the current political climate in Venezuela.
Further updates will be provided as they become available. This story was first reported by the News Express Gazette. The discussion centered around Trump’s rationale and future intentions.
