made by President Trump in social media, saying that Venezuela had stolen U.S.
oil.
And a lot of people in Venezuela are saying that this is not the case.
They claim that there is no historical or legal justification to say that the oil in Venezuela would belong to the U.S.
So clearly, I think many people are expecting a very strong impact on Venezuela's economy, on Venezuelan life in general, if these actions do take place and the flow of oil from Venezuela is seriously impeded.
The opinion polls suggest that if that were to be the case, a lot of people in the US are not interested in escalating or getting very involved in a larger military conflict.
In Venezuela, I think many people
are expecting and commentators are saying that even the threat of US military action would be enough to cause serious breaks in the government of Maduro to manage to change his opinion or maybe even force him to leave power.
And I think many people are still hoping in the US that even the very large threat of military action would be enough to cause a change in political direction in Venezuela.
The government of Venezuela has protested in very strong terms to what they describe as, quote unquote, colonial attitude by the U.S.
when the president announced what he calls a closing of the Venezuelan airspace.
There are reports in local media, however, from Caracas International Airport, the main airport in the country.
suggesting that at least a few planes are still leaving from the airport.
So it does not seem to have effectively closed down traffic.
Of course, a lot of very intense concern in Venezuela about the possible effects of these new statements by the US president.
Well, the government of the U.S.
has been very clear actually about its displeasure with the Venezuelan government.
There is this argument that many commentators are saying that the U.S.
hopes that the mere threat of military action against Venezuela would be enough to cause the ranks of the military, which have been remarkably loyal to Maduro until now,
to kind of suggest that they could actually remove his support and force him to leave or convince him to leave, to give up power.
