Donald Trump

"Trump has begun his imperialist plan with the aim of benefiting the extreme right and the powerful," said Igor Zulaika, EH Bildu's Head of International Policy and Relations. "We have come together for peace, democracy and the right to self-determination."

The Venezuelan Supreme has replaced Delcy Rodriguez, but Trump has said the US will lead the country "until a safe, adequate, and sensible transition is made."

The Boeing 757 military aircraft carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro landed at around 23:00 this Saturday in New York. The leftist leader has descended from the plane with his head covered, surrounded by agents.

In early 2013, Maduro's career changed radically as he became president of Venezuela. Chavez died on March 5 and elections were called, in which Maduro won 51% of the vote, defeating Henrique Capriles.

Venezuela's only legitimate president, Nicolas Maduro, stressed on Saturday that the executive vice president of Venezezuela, after being arrested by US military forces.

"We will rule that country as long as there is a safe, adequate and reasonable transition. In other words, we do not want Maduro to be replaced by anyone and to repeat the situation we have had in recent years," he said at a press conference from his headquarters in Florida.

Thousands of people from Venezuela live in the Basque Country, many of whom are opposed to Nicolas Maduro's government. They are hopeful about what happened and hope for a peaceful transition.

Although it has been described as an attack on drug trafficking, experts believe that Trump's real goal is to bring about political change in Venezuela.

Russia has denounced an "armed attack" with "unfounded excuses," Spain has called for "de-escalation and moderation," and the Argentine president has celebrated the attack.

U.S. President Donald Trump reported the news through social media. 

Aircraft have been heard along with the explosions, and some of the explosions have occurred at the country's main military base, Fort Tiuna, west of the city, and at the military base of La Carlota.

 Trumphas declared in recent days that the Iranian government is trying to redevelop its nuclear program and has been prepared to respond with possible  bombings, as it did with Israel in June.

So far, neither the Pentagon nor the US Government nor Venezuela have confirmed the attack mentioned by Trump. If confirmed, it would be the first US attack on Venezuelan soil.

The two leaders will meet for the fifth time this year. Unlike previous appointments, there seems to be a certain distance between them this time because, according to various sources, they do not have the same position on the departure of Iran or Israeli troops from Gaza. 

The meeting in Florida has represented a rapprochement between Washington and Kiev and the intention to involve the main European partners again. However, there are still substantial differences over security guarantees and the territorial situation in eastern Ukraine.

European leaders have backed the Ukrainian president before meeting with the White House president in Florida, and Canada has promised him million-dollar aid to rebuild the country.

Global trade relations have been disrupted by Donald Trump, and trade competition between the US and China has been intense. The eurozone has resisted better than expected, but the industry has taken the biggest blow.
