President Donald Trump has floated the idea of Venezuela becoming America’s 51st state, saying “good things are happening” there.
Trump made the remarks when commenting on Venezuela’s win against Italy in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) tournament.
“Wow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal.
“They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?,” he wrote on Truth Social.
It comes just over two months afterTrump’s administration captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a major U.S. military operation in January.
