The recent U.S. move to capture Nicolas Maduro has changed everything for Venezuela. President Trump decided to step in because of three main things: oil, power, and security. Venezuela has more oil than almost any other country, and the U.S. wants to make sure that oil doesn't fall into the wrong hands. By removing the old leader, the U.S. hopes to stop the chaos that has been hurting the region for years. However, this big move has left the country in a state of shock. People are wondering if this will lead to a better life or if things will get even more confusing without a clear person in charge.
Experts like Carlos Fortin are worried about what happens next to the money and jobs in Venezuela. Since Maduro was captured, the future of the government is a total mystery. The most important part is the oil industry. Right now, there are many rules (called sanctions) that stop people from buying Venezuela's oil easily. If these rules stay or change, it could determine if the country becomes rich again or stays poor. Until a new, steady government is set up, the economy will be very unstable. It’s a waiting game to see if this change actually brings the safety and peace that was promised to the people.
