The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

For years, Venezuela has abused the good faith and patience of the U.S. by flooding the nation with its slurry of narcotics and its most dangerous people. The Trump administration will not abide by this treatment and has taken strong measures to counter the Maduro regime’s hostile activities, which will very soon come to a permanent end.

Establishment-critical narrative

The brazen hostility displayed by the U.S. is a precursor to further military action, designed to provoke a war so that the Trump administration can clear out Maduro and claim Venezuela’s oil wealth for itself. Venezuela, however, will work with its regional partners to promote peace and thwart the imperialist designs of the U.S.
