Trump has published a map of Venezuela painted with the US flag portraying it as state 51
Since the arrest of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, Trump has repeatedly suggested that the country be annexed to its territory.
U.S. President Donald Trump shared an image of the map of Venezuela on the Truth Social network this Tuesday, painted with the U.S. flag, as well as the official White House X account.
Trump has only shared the image of the map, without any comment, just the words "state 51." In fact, he joked about that idea in a telephone statement to Fox News on Monday. The US president claimed that people in Venezuela "love him" and that he was thinking, ironically, of running for president.
Since the arrest of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, Trump has repeatedly hinted at the country's desire to join its territory.
Since the US Army launched a military operation in Venezuela in early 2026 and captured President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, the US president has not concealed his interest in Venezuelan oil; and in that same Fox call, he highlighted precisely the $40 billion that Vezzuela oil would bring to the US.
For her part, Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez spoke in response to Trump's statements on Monday, rejecting the possibility of his country's accession to the 51 US state.
