Venezuela and the New U.S. National Security Strategy
Andre Diniz Pagliarini 17 December 2025

For months, U.S. naval forces have been gathering off Venezuela’s coast. The warships, the bomber flyovers, and the rising volume from Washington are not incidental. The likelihood of an actual intervention is not incidental. It is in line with the administration’s recently presented geopolitical priorities. The new National Security Strategy, released earlier this month, explicitly elevates the Western Hemisphere as a central arena of U.S. national security, linking migration, narcotics trafficking, and regional instability to the defense of the homeland.

Donald Trump insists he wants no “new wars.” In Latin America, however, that line is wearing thin. His administration has revived the language and logic of forceful intervention even as he maintains that the era of U.S. adventurism abroad is over. The result is a foreign policy that races to prop up allies like Argentina’s Javier Milei and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro while threatening adversaries like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro and Colombia’s Gustavo Petro.

Iran-Venezuela after Chávez, still an indissoluble bond?
Antonella Vicini 27 March 2013

There was national mourning and a ceremony in a Catholic church in Tehran to sanctify the ties with the Venezuela of Hugo Chávez, the president who, according to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “was the symbol of those who want justice, love and peace in the world.” This was an 'anti-imperialist and anti-American axis' created in the last 12 years and strengthened after 2005 by the victory of the current Iranian president. Chávez and Ahmadinejad were the enemies of the Great Satan as well as diplomatic, economic, trade and ideological partners. One has left the stage because of natural causes, and the other will soon have to depart his political residence in Pasteur Square. What will become of the relations between the two countries?
