The Government of Donald Trump is considering the possibility of deploying around 3,000 technicians to Venezuela and advancing the creation of a temporary administration with the aim of coordinating the reconstruction of the country after the devastating earthquakes that occurred on June 24.
The initiative, which has not yet received approval from the White House, is part of internal discussions in Washington, according to the Spanish newspaper ABC, which cites sources familiar with the process.
The project plans to send personnel from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with civilian experts in key areas such as infrastructure, energy, logistics, communications, urban planning, and land use planning. The proposal aims to organize a comprehensive response to the damage caused by the emergency.
According to the published information, the plan would include an initial investment of around 3 billion dollars. These funds would be allocated for the recovery of roads, ports, airports, electrical grids, drinking water systems, and affected public buildings, in addition to facilitating the coordination of humanitarian aid and defining priorities for reconstruction.
The initiative, according to ABC, does not contemplate a military intervention or the annexation of Venezuela to the United States. Instead, it proposes the creation of a temporary administrative structure aimed at ensuring the continuity of essential services, preventing an institutional vacuum, and preparing the way for future democratic elections.
