CARACAS — December 3, 2025: The international community is on high alert after U.S. President Donald Trump escalated threats toward Venezuela, fuelling fears of possible military intervention. The shift comes amid growing international scrutiny over the Trump administration’s dossier on alleged drug-trafficking in the region — a narrative increasingly met with skepticism by critics who say real motive lies in Venezuela’s vast oil reserves.

The international community is on high alert after U.S. President Donald Trump escalated threats toward Venezuela, fuelling fears of possible military intervention. The shift comes amid growing international scrutiny over the Trump administration’s dossier on alleged drug-trafficking in the region — a narrative increasingly met with skepticism by critics who say real motive lies in Venezuela’s vast oil reserves.

In a recent move, the U.S. declared Venezuela’s airspace “closed in its entirety,” and triggered a wave of sanctions. The pressure soared further when Washington signalled possible land strikes under the guise of combating narcotics flows.

Venezuela, which boasts approximately 303 billion barrels of proven crude — the largest on the planet — has now openly accused the United States of seeking to seize its oil wealth.

In an appeal to member states of OPEC and OPEC+, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned that “illegal threats” to his country’s oil and sovereignty risk destabilising international energy markets. The appeal comes as many analysts question the publicly stated US justification — drug interdiction — for what appears to many observers as a strategic move to control one of the richest hydrocarbon reserves in the world.

Comments from regional leaders add weight to this interpretation. In an interview with a major international outlet, Colombia’s president said the pressure campaign on Venezuela “is more about accessing its oil than combating narcotics,” raising doubts about official US motives.

Venezuelan authorities have responded by preparing for worst-case scenarios. Maduro has threatened to declare a “republic in arms” if the US proceeds with aggression — signalling potential mobilisation of the country’s defence apparatus. Caracas also warned the global community that any intervention would be considered a grave violation of international norms.

Meanwhile, markets and global energy stakeholders are watching closely. Venezuela’s oil — though heavy and more challenging to refine — remains a strategically important commodity. Oil analysts warn that any disruption to Venezuelan supply, or increased instability, could send ripples through global crude markets, possibly driving up prices and prompting energy security anxieties.
