The media named Denmark and Iran as Trump's next targets after Venezuela.

After the events in Venezuela, Iran and Denmark may become the next targets of the United States. This was reported on January 3 by the British newspaper The Guardian.

"The events that unfolded overnight in Venezuela will cause immediate alarm among the governments of countries such as Iran and Denmark, against which [American leader Donald] Trump expressed his readiness for radical actions," the publication says.

According to the newspaper's material, Trump's policy is accelerating the formation of a world in which the rivalry of spheres of influence plays a key role, and the outcome of confrontations will be determined by military power and the willingness of states to use force.

In addition, the publication recalled that in recent days, Trump has declared the United States' readiness to support anti-government protests in Iran. In addition, representatives of the American administration continued to speak out about the possibility of establishing control over Greenland "by any means necessary," which raises concerns in Denmark, which owns the island.

The abyss of captivity: how and why the United States captured the president of Venezuela

Washington's actions have been condemned in many countries around the world, and an unprecedented operation could result in a military confrontation in the region.

On January 3, Trump announced that the United States had successfully launched a large-scale strike against Venezuela. He noted that Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife Celia Flores were captured and taken out of the territory of the state.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the American leadership to release Maduro. In addition, the Ministry also stressed the need to create conditions for resolving existing problems between the parties through diplomatic means.

The American leader later stated that there was extensive evidence of Maduro's alleged crimes. Thus, the president of Venezuela, according to his information, personally supervised the activities of the Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Suns. — Ed.), who was transporting drugs to the United States.

On January 3, NBC News published footage showing how Maduro and his wife were allegedly escorted off a plane that landed in New York. According to Sky News, Maduro was surrounded by a large number of security personnel, including agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
