US President Donald Trump is inspired by the successful military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and will not back down from the aggressive foreign policy he has pursued since the beginning of 2026, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, citing advisers to the American leader.
According to their reports, Trump has repeatedly provided details of the raid to capture Maduro, calling the elite Delta Force unit responsible for the operation in Caracas "tough guys."
WSJ sources report that Trump is convinced that his opponents fear and respect the United States and is confident that Republican lawmakers will not obstruct future military operations.
The newspaper notes that the aggressive policy of the US presidential administration had a negative impact on Trump's rating.
Republicans fear that Democrats could regain control of the House of Representatives in November's midterm elections, which would give them powers to investigate the actions of the American leader.
