Myers, also a former head of investment advisory firm Evercore, is planning a trip of 15-20 investors to visit Venezuela in March to identify investment opportunities."
"Accompanying the post was a photo of a drawing of a horse. The hindquarters of the horse were drawn in intricate detail, and labeled "SOF operation to capture Maduro," referencing the special operations forces mission that was executed early Saturday. The horse's head was depicted as a rudimentary children's drawing, captioned "plans for future of Venezuela." "I wouldn't exactly call it a plan," Bremmer added."
US forces conducted a raid in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Business and foreign-policy figures responded with sharply divided views. Some business leaders, including Charles Myers, said foreign investment in oil, tourism, and construction will drive Venezuela's financial recovery and predicted faster economic growth over the next two years, with investor visits already being organized. Political-risk analysts, such as Ian Bremmer, warned that the operation could create a US presumption that future Venezuelan leaders must follow American demands and suggested the action could signal coercive pressure with uncertain political consequences.
