It was an eventful day in terms of geopolitical tensions.
Bitcoin’s price has remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours, despite the rapid escalation on the front between the United States and Venezuela, the attacks by the Trump-led country and the arrest of the latter’s president.
Just minutes ago, the POTUS addressed the crowd following today’s developments, even hinting at possible actions against Mexico.
CryptoPotato reported earlier today that the primary cryptocurrency fell from almost $91,000 – its peak on Friday, to just under $89,300 after reports emerged of explosions in the Venezuelan capital Caracas. Minutes later, the Trump administration confirmed speculation that the US was behind the attacks.
In addition, officials stated that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife had been captured and transported to the US. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said later that both had been indicted in the Southern District of New York, when Maduro was charged with narco-terrorist conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy and several other similar charges.
During Trump’s first interview of the day with Fox News, the POTUS said Maduro tried to negotiate at the end, but he refused. He too said According to reports from Walter Bloomberg, the US will now be “heavily involved” in the Venezuelan oil industry.
He added that China will have no problem with this operation as they will get oil even though Chinese officials entered Venezuela hours before the attacks.
Interestingly, Trump also addressed the situation in Mexico, explaining that the country is heavily controlled by cartels as border issues between the two countries continue. He warned that “something must be done” if the Mexican government is too afraid to act.
