Context
In May, Trump, in a telephone conversation with Fox News journalist John Roberts, stated that he was "seriously considering" the possibility of including Venezuela in the United States.
Earlier, Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez stated that her country never considered the possibility of becoming the 51st state, even after US troops captured the country's leader Nicolás Maduro in January.
Trump's current publication comes amid discussions of future negotiations between the White House head and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Recall
In the US, the start of the trial of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been scheduled for June 1, 2027.
