U.S. President Donald Trump said a second airstrike against Venezuela has been canceled, citing improved cooperation from the country.
Trump wrote on his social media platform 'Truth Social' on Friday that Venezuela is "cooperating well" with the U.S. in rebuilding its oil and gas infrastructure and releasing numerous political prisoners. He added that another airstrike doesn't appear to be necessary for these reasons.
