President Donald Trump used Venezuela’s win in the World Baseball Classic on Monday night to tease a big idea: potential U.S. statehood for the Latin American country. “Wow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal,” Trump write in his Truth Social platform. “They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! He added: “I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”
Trump has celebrated Venezuela’s sudden cooperation with the United States after years of hostility, a change prompted by his decision to send a daring military mission to arrest longtime strongman and fugitive Nicolas Maduro on federal drug charges.
