Trump Calls Venezuela ‘a Happy Country,’ While Citizens Report Growing Discontent

President Donald Trump remarked that Venezuela is a “happy country.” He said the nation, now under U.S. oversight, has never earned the money it is currently making. The comment highlights the recent surge in Venezuelan oil revenue. However, ordinary Venezuelans say the new income has not improved daily life. Many still struggle with basic necessities despite higher oil earnings. Public sentiment is shifting toward frustration and anger. Critics argue the government’s rhetoric masks ongoing economic hardship. Observers expect mounting discontent could lead to larger protests.
