US special forces conducted a targeted military operation in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, capturing President Nicolás Maduro amid strikes on infrastructure, the first such US intervention since Panama in 1989; the Defense Department subsequently confirmed no ongoing troop presence on Venezuelan soil. Trader sentiment reflects this recent entry as the baseline event, with no verified plans for re-entry announced in the past 30 days despite regional naval buildup and humanitarian aid shipments exceeding six tons of medical supplies. Maduro now faces US drug trafficking charges, with a judge rejecting dismissal on March 26; President Trump reiterated hemispheric priorities on March 27, hinting at Cuba amid stalled governance transition and coalition pressures in Caracas. Absent escalation signals like troop deployments or airstrikes, odds hinge on diplomatic breakthroughs or unrest triggering renewed military action before resolution.
