President Trump's recent remarks on May 11, 2026—floated during a Fox News interview and amplified by a social media graphic depicting Venezuela as the "51st state"—briefly stirred speculation amid the US military intervention that captured Nicolás Maduro in January, citing the country's vast oil reserves. However, Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez immediately rejected the notion, affirming national sovereignty and no prior consideration of statehood. Traders price No at 96.2% due to Article IV constitutional barriers requiring congressional approval and Venezuelan consent, with no bills introduced, referendums planned, or diplomatic momentum; historical precedents like Puerto Rico's stalled bids highlight the improbability. Realistic shifts would demand bipartisan Senate support, a Venezuelan plebiscite, or extraordinary executive agreements, amid ongoing post-intervention instability.

An official agreement that is announced will suffice to resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when it is slated to go into effect. If any territory that includes no portion of Venezuelan land is made the 51st US state within this market's timeframe, this market will immediately resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
