Following the U.S. military operation on January 2, 2026, that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and prompted his transfer to New York for trial, trader sentiment hinges on sustained U.S. naval deployments in the Caribbean and recent strikes on Venezuela-linked vessels, as condemned by Human Rights Watch this week. Interim leader Delcy Rodríguez received U.S. sanctions relief on April 1 amid oil export agreements benefiting Washington, yet faces fresh indictment threats from early March, fueling uncertainty. Diplomatic progress and high intervention costs temper escalation risks, with Maduro's ongoing legal proceedings and congressional oversight of operations as key upcoming catalysts that could sway probabilities.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on Venezuelan soil is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.Following the U.S. military operation on January 2, 2026, that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and prompted his transfer to New York for trial, trader sentiment hinges on sustained U.S. naval deployments in the Caribbean and recent strikes on Venezuela-linked vessels, as condemned by Human Rights Watch this week.
