What does Trump truly want in Venezuela?

The experience of studying the US government has been unique for me as an African writer. My perspective differs greatly from the justifications offered by the US government for every war against nations it views as enemies. What does Trump really want in Venezuela, which is why Nicolás Maduro was attacked and taken prisoner?

 

The US president claims that because Maduro is a drug dealer, the Venezuelan leader poses a threat to the US. The US government's first aim is to combat drugs and dismantle the network. Experts, however, think that the discussion of combating narcotics is a smoke screen. So, is the main goal to control Venezuela's oil reserves?

 

Even if I don't know much about the US government, I can still talk about American presidents. They don't waste time attacking a government since they are fully aware that they will not benefit from that nation. Trump recently attacked terrorists in Nigeria who were murdering Christians. Since that nation possesses oil, he took that action.

 

Trump won't waste time bombing terrorists in Nigeria if oranges are that nation's main resource. I have the same thought about Venezuela. Trump wants the world and Maduro's adversaries to think he is on their side. That might not be the reason for his attack, though.

 

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump made numerous claims that he could put a stop to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine within a day of taking office; however, he failed. So I don’t understand why Trump should start a new conflict with Venezuela when the Israeli-Palestinian problem is still raging on.

 

As previously stated, I'm not sure if the attack on Venezuela is related to drugs, but I can say that Trump feels he has failed in many areas and that he urgently has to impress the American citizens.

What will life be like in the year 2026?

We can’t overlook the truth that 2025 hasn’t been easy for thousands of people worldwide. Unless you are incredibly wealthy and therefore unaffected by the sharp changes in the economy, or are not worried about the ongoing political violence and disasters.

 

The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is far from over, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still ongoing. Unfortunately, the impact of these wars has taken its toll on everyone. Therefore, how will life be in the year 2026?

 

According to some experts, 2026 is expected to be a pivotal year with major changes in a number of areas of life, such as relationships, jobs, health, and personal development.

 

They claim that many people may have a good year financially, with opportunities for income growth and benefits from a variety of sources, such as inheritance, gifts, and investments, though purchases of real estate and cars may result in mediocre outcomes.

 

However, some people also view the rapidly approaching new year differently.  Many people struggle with health and communication. Handling 2026 revolutionary energy requires resilience, adaptation, and deliberate action.

 

As we all work toward a better future and wish for a better year, everyone has a belief. However, as unseen tragedies and disasters may strike humanity, dreams are dashed. Humanity will inevitably face invisible disasters regularly.

 

The apartment fire tragedy in Hong Kong continues to claim more lives. May God grant them the fortitude to go through this trying period and provide assistance through the international reaction to lessen the victims' suffering.

 

The world can’t prevent unseen disasters, but some things can be done to improve the future. In 2026, humanity's most significant occupations will be empathy, emotional intelligence, and human-centric leadership since these qualities are essential for handling technological upheaval and ensuring the well-being of employees.

 

Leaders who exhibit consistency, humility, and open communication will increase workplace trust in a world characterized by political unpredictability and rapid change. Stability and cohesiveness will depend on encouraging civil discourse and making room for challenging discussions.

 

Humanity has a big part to play in preventing disasters, mostly by taking proactive steps to strengthen resilience and lessen vulnerability. Implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies, which seek to lower current disaster risk and manage residual risk through preparation and planning, is a crucial duty.

 

Examples of such measures include managing land use, building structures resistant to disasters, avoiding high-risk regions, and increasing community awareness and education. People need to be aware of the risks in their areas to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and fires.

 

Governments and business executives have an obligation to proactively plan for catastrophic risk by implementing methods for community resilience and adaptation beyond their local borders.

 

This entails funding early preventative efforts, such as nature-based remedies like protecting coastal ecosystems, which offer both ecological and financial benefits while lessening the effects of disasters. Global mitigation strategies include public awareness, political action, and economic diversification.

 

The notion that it is everyone's duty to improve 2026 is the result of a collective call to action in the civic, professional, and personal domains. Thus, to build a better life in 2026, characterized by purpose, well-being, and significant advancement, people are urged to take action now through introspection, preparation, and a change in perspective.
