Dear Editor,
The US has been the stabilizing factor in the Caribbean region. Closer to home, the US military presence has stopped Nicholas Maduro in his tracks in his planned design to capture two thirds of Guyana. President Trump has ordered the toppling of Maduro who stole the 2024 elections.
A huge flotilla of naval vessels is very close to Venezuela, Guyana, and Trinidad to ensure Maduro does not attack neighbours opposed to him and possibly to oust him. President Trump has prevented Maduro from pursuing his military designs over Guyana and in so doing is maintaining peace in Guyana-Venezuela border and the region. Maduro knows the consequences of attacking Guyana or Trinidad. Trump’s military activist approach and diplomacy in ending conflict after conflict and bringing about genuine peace, continuing in 2025 what Trump started in the latter period of his first term.
His administration has continued to stand with Guyana on the border controversy claims by Venezuela of territory. His administration has also protected operations of Exxon and other oil companies operating in Guyana. Because of Washington, Nicholas Maduro has avoided military incursion in Guyana. Maduro was warned about the consequences of military intervention in Guyana. His administration has also sided with the government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of Trinidad and Tobago.
