On January 5, local time, after listening to the Trump administration's closed-door briefing on the Venezuelan issue, US House Speaker Mike Johnson said he did not think the US would deploy ground forces to Venezuela, and stressed that the US action “is not a regime change.” After talks with US Secretary of State Rubio and other senior government officials, Johnson said that apart from “pressuring Venezuela's new interim government to take action,” the US “does not expect direct military intervention.” He said that the goal of the US side is to push the situation in Venezuela in a direction that is in line with the expectations of the United States without expanding military intervention.
