Just days earlier, on January 3, the U.S. military carried out a major operation in Venezuela. That mission ended with the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.

Trump posted images showing Maduro on the USS Iwo Jima. He said the United States would temporarily “run” Venezuela while Maduro faces charges in New York.

People have started guessing what the new “Soon” post means.
Is he going to jump off a bridge?
Night of the living dead.

There is also talk of Greenland. A related post from a close ally showed a U.S.-flagged map of the island and said “SOON.” That added more speculation about Trump’s next plans.
At this point, no one knows exactly what Trump means. He has not said anything more about the post.
