Venezuela: Trump's Actions Reshape Global Order

The US military intervention in Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolás Maduro have sparked reactions and concerns about the global order. Markets reacted relatively calmly, with stock market gains and rising defense and energy stocks. However, the situation has reignited discussions about international law and sovereignty, bringing the dispute over Taiwan and Trump's intentions regarding Greenland to the forefront. Trump has expressed interest in controlling Greenland, prompting strong reactions from Denmark. Meanwhile, Maduro proclaims his innocence and claims to have been abducted by US forces. The future of Venezuela remains uncertain, with Trump's plan focused on supporting American oil companies.
