The United States and Venezuela are two nations with a long and often strained diplomatic relationship.
The United States is a major world power, while Venezuela is a Bolivarian Republic whose government has frequently clashed with Washington.
In January 2026, U.S. special forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and acting president Delcy Rodríguez has since governed under pressure from the United States.
The two countries have conflicting interests, with the U.S. exerting military and political pressure on Venezuela, while Venezuela's government resists what it sees as U.S. interference.
Tensions have risen to the point where the Caribbean has become a strategic area of competition, with U.S. forces surging in the region.
The U.S. has stated it is not at war with Venezuela, but rather "at war" with certain issues, such as drugs and oil-related concerns, according to a January 2026 interview.
The stakes are high, as the conflict affects regional stability and international relations.
The U.S. has also been involved in disputes over Venezuelan assets, such as the UK-frozen gold reserves, which some propose placing under U.S. control—a move that former IMF official Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr. argues would set a 'terrible precedent'.

Supporters of Venezuela argue that US control over UK-frozen gold is raw power play, not law, setting a precedent where sovereign assets become prizes for the powerful.
