A federal judge in Virginia has ordered Lindsey Halligan, who was appointed as an interim U.S. Attorney, to justify why she is still using the official title despite a court ruling that her appointment was unlawful.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that the United States plans to sell Venezuelan oil indefinitely, with the proceeds being controlled and directed back to Venezuela. Washington Examiner's Byron York expressed skepticism about the reporting on Venezuela, stating that it cannot be proven or disproven. Conflicting reports have emerged following the recent U.S. troops' attack on Caracas, where former dictator Nicolas Maduro was captured. Analysts are debating the impact of sanctions relief on Venezuela's economy post-Maduro's arrest, with uncertainties surrounding oil production and recovery. Senator Murphy criticized Trump in 2019 for not removing Maduro but now criticizes the operation to arrest him. Wright mentioned that the Trump administration is in active dialogue with Venezuela's government regarding the plan.

Analysts believe that a Cold War agreement gives the president the power to increase the American military presence as needed. European leaders, reliant on U.S. support against Russia in Ukraine, have refrained from criticizing President Trump on various issues including Greenland, Iran, and Venezuela. Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, citing national security reasons, but Denmark's leader warns that this move could lead to the end of NATO. Additionally, Trump has taken control of Venezuelan oil reserves to challenge the communist regime's connections to China, Cuba, and Russia. The removal of Nicolas Maduro from power in Venezuela is seen as a strategic move to prevent Russia and China from gaining control over the world's largest oil reserves. It is emphasized that the U.S. must continue its efforts in Venezuela to secure its interests in the region.
