In early January 2026, the United States executed a targeted military raid in Venezuela, capturing President Nicolás Maduro amid longstanding sanctions and disputed 2024 elections, but stopped short of a full-scale ground invasion or occupation. Bipartisan congressional resolutions, including war powers challenges, have sought to curb further escalation, reflecting unease over executive unilateralism. On March 18, the Treasury eased oil sanctions on Venezuela's state company to bolster global supply amid tensions elsewhere, while Caracas replaced its defense minister under U.S. pressure. Ongoing Maduro hearings and threats to indict interim leader Delcy Rodríguez sustain diplomatic leverage without military intensification, anchoring trader consensus against near-term invasion amid no fresh troop deployments or airstrikes.
