US airstrikes and special forces operation on January 3, 2026, captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, prompting President Trump to announce temporary US oversight of the country pending transition, alongside seizure of oil revenues to reshape energy exports. Since then, trader sentiment weighs continued diplomatic pressure over new military action, highlighted by early March US threats to indict interim head Delcy Rodríguez amid high cooperation from local authorities. No verified escalations like airstrikes or troop movements have emerged in the past 30 days, with focus on sanctions enforcement and congressional reviews of operation costs. Upcoming UN debates and oil market dynamics could signal de-escalation or renewed tensions.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within Venezuela.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of Venezuela counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Venezuelan territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
