U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the United States is seeking ‘total access’ to Venezuela. This comment was made during a conversation with reporters on Air Force One. Trump also confirmed the death of numerous Cuban bodyguards who were defending the deposed Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, during a U.S. operation in Caracas. The operation, which took place on January 3, 2026, led to the capture and extraction of Maduro and his wife. The Cuban Ministry of the Interior confirmed the deaths of 32 Cuban military and intelligence personnel during the operation. The U.S. acknowledgement of the Cuban deaths has added a new layer of international tension following the operation, with varying regional reactions. This situation underscores the broader geopolitical complexity of the Venezuelan crisis.
