Participants expressed their union’s condemnation of what they described as a US military attack on Venezuela and denounced what they called a violation of national sovereignty.

National Assembly Deputy Nicolas Maduro Guerra relayed a message attributed to President Maduro, saying the president was being held hostage by the US and reaffirming his firmness and full support for interim President Delcy Rodriguez.

The demonstrations reflect ongoing tensions following recent military actions and calls by supporters for the return of detained leaders.

In a Jan. 3 military operation in Venezuela, the US captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and brought them to New York, where they pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges.

Trump said his administration would "run" Venezuela and its oil assets during a transitional period.

Despite the optimism expressed by the administration, analysts told the BBC that large-scale investment would be unlikely without political stability and legal guarantees, warning that Trump’s $100 billion target remains far from realistic.

Venezuela currently produces about 1 million barrels of oil per day, accounting for less than 1% of global supply, according to figures from the BBC.
