✨An Unexpected Intervention On January 3, 2026, US President Donald Trump announced he had ordered a "large-scale" military operation against Venezuela. This operation led to explosions in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, struck critical military targets, and most strikingly, captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, taking them to the US. Trump described the operation as a victory against "narcoterrorism" and electoral interference, but this move ignited debates about international law. The operation culminated in Trump's statement that the US would "temporarily govern" Venezuela. This event created a domino effect in Latin America, causing unrest in countries such as Cuba, Nicaragua, and Mexico. It received millions of interactions on social media platforms and became the focus of global discussions. ✨This geopolitical shock caused ripples in the crypto markets. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a brief dip after the operation but quickly recovered. This operation embodies Trump's "America First" policy but shakes international norms. From a crypto perspective, while there may be a short-term upside, long-term geopolitical risks could increase volatility. #TrumpLaunchesStrikesonVenezuela $BTC
