"There’s no way they [US troops] can enter Venezuela."

"I don't think the USA is going to invade Venezuela."

The Trump administration "has shown no signs so far of clear intent for direct military action."

"No one in their right mind thinks that with 4,500 people you can invade a country that's got mountains, jungle and multiple urban centers."

"It appears as if Mr. Peace President is looking into invading Venezuela under the pretext that the whole country is an illegal drug cartel and Maduro is a fugitive and an illegitimate president."

"It is my belief the United States will invade and Occupy Venezuela by Jan 2026."

Will the US Invade Venezuela?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined a three-phase plan for Venezuela that includes stabilization, recovery and transition. The U.S. plans to seize and sell between 30 million and 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil at market rates, with proceeds controlled by the U.S.

Rubio stated the stabilization phase aims to prevent chaos in Venezuela through a quarantine of oil exports, while the recovery phase would ensure American and Western companies have access to Venezuelan markets and begin national reconciliation efforts including amnesty for opposition figures.

Senate Democrats expressed skepticism about the administration's Venezuela strategy, with Senator Chris Murphy calling it an insane plan and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stating he was totally dissatisfied with the briefing and warning the approach was fraught with peril.

The Trump administration announced a deal with Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA to market Venezuelan crude oil, with proceeds settling in U.S.-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks and sanctions being selectively rolled back to enable oil transport and sales to global markets.

The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump told aides he believes controlling Venezuelan oil could help lower oil prices to his favored level of $50 a barrel, though analysts noted this could prove challenging given the dilapidated state of Venezuela's oil infrastructure requiring tens of billions in investment.

Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez described the January 3 military operation as a stain on relations with the United States but stated that economic and commercial relations between the two countries are not extraordinary or irregular, calling for national unity and cooperation.
