Donald Trump is reportedly contemplating the idea of incorporating Venezuela as the 51st state of the United States. The US president mentioned this plan during a conversation with Fox News reporter John Roberts.
This consideration was shared by Roberts in a post on X, where he stated that Trump had informed him about the serious contemplation of making Venezuela a part of the United States. Trump has previously brought up the notion of Venezuela joining the US, particularly during the 2026 World Baseball Classic events.
The initial suggestion was made after Venezuela’s victory over Italy in a semi-final match, with Trump expressing curiosity about the positive developments in Venezuela and hinting at the possibility of statehood for the country. These discussions coincide with increased US engagement in Venezuela following the apprehension of former president Nicolas Maduro.
