US President Donald Trump said the United States is not at war with Venezuela, amid growing international attention to developments in the South American country.

In his remarks, Trump affirmed that Washington is not engaged in military conflict with Caracas, seeking to dispel speculation about a possible escalation between the two sides.

Trump also said that Venezuela is entering a transitional phase that could last up to 18 months, without providing further details on the political framework or actors involved in the transition.

In addition, Trump said that Venezuela will not hold new elections within the next 30 days, signaling that any electoral process would take place later in the transition period.

The comments come as Venezuela continues to face political uncertainty and international scrutiny, with regional and global powers closely monitoring the situation and its potential implications for stability in Latin America.
