Following the January 3, 2026, US airstrikes on Caracas that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, no additional qualifying drone, missile, or aerial strikes on Venezuelan soil have been reported in the past four months, anchoring trader caution amid a tenuous post-intervention transition. President Trump's recent May statements musing about annexing Venezuela as the 51st state for its vast oil reserves, alongside ongoing US naval deployments and lethal strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, fuel speculation of escalation, though diplomatic backlash from regional allies like Cuba and stalled coalition negotiations with interim leaders Delcy Rodríguez have deterred further action. Congressional hearings on Latin American policy this month and debt ceiling debates could sway executive decisions on military posture.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on Venezuelan soil is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within Venezuela.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of Venezuela counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Venezuelan territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Following the January 3, 2026, US airstrikes on Caracas that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, no additional qualifying drone, missile, or aerial strikes on Venezuelan soil have been reported in the past four months, anchoring trader caution amid a tenuous post-intervention transition.
