Trump Expected to Renew Sharp Attacks on Maduro

Donald Trump is expected to continue his long-running criticism of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with the former president likely to use a public appearance, interview, or social media post to deliver a personal attack before the end of May 2026. Trump has repeatedly shown a willingness to use blunt, insulting language against foreign leaders, especially those he portrays as authoritarian or ineffective.

Any new remarks would likely fit into a broader campaign message that mixes immigration, sanctions, and U.S. pressure on Venezuela. Given Trump’s history of sharp rhetoric and his tendency to single out Maduro in hostile terms, advisers and political observers are likely to be watching closely for another incendiary comment that escalates tensions further.
