Donald Trump has reignited his controversial “51st state” narrative — but this time the target is Venezuela. In a dramatic Truth Social post, Trump shared an image of Venezuela draped in the American flag with the words “51st State,” triggering backlash and renewed geopolitical debate. The post came shortly after Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodríguez rejected any possibility of the country becoming part of the United States. The White House later reshared the image on X, further fueling controversy. Trump had earlier floated similar ideas involving Canada and Greenland, reviving questions about America’s global ambitions amid mounting domestic and international pressures.
