TRUMP’S "PEACE DEAL" WITH VENEZUELA: PRISONERS FREE ! 🇻🇪
President Donald Trump has officially confirmed that Venezuela is releasing political prisoners "in a BIG way." This high-stakes move follows the dramatic U.S. military operation on January 3, 2026, which successfully took Nicolás Maduro into custody.
Trump hailed the move as a "very important and smart gesture" toward national peace, signaling a massive shift in U.S.-Venezuela relations under the interim leadership of Delcy Rodríguez.
Trump posted on Truth Social that detainees are fortunate the U.S. intervened, warning that the opportunity for peace shouldn't be forgotten.
While Trump describes the release as "large," human rights groups like Foro Penal report that only a fraction of the estimated 800+ prisoners have walked free so far.
This "gesture of peace" coincides with reports that the interim government is negotiating a 30M–50M barrel oil transfer to the U.S. to stabilize energy markets.
The headline is "Peace," but the real conflict is the brewing power struggle between the interim government and the opposition.
While Trump is currently calling Delcy Rodríguez an "ally," he has also invited opposition leader María Corina Machado to Washington this week.
Now, Wall Street is betting that Rodríguez stays in power to ensure immediate oil production resumes, which is why we’ve seen $HYPER and energy-related tokens spike.
Furthermore, in question to the 2026 election question, human rights activists fear these releases are "performative" and that the U.S. might prioritize oil stability over immediate democratic elections.
Whay it Means:
We are seeing the "Art of the Deal" applied to South American geopolitics. The release of prisoners is a victory for human rights, but for investors, the real move is the restoration of the U.S. Embassy and the return of Venezuelan oil to the global stage.
