Esta noche estuve en @iflymia mientras uno de los primeros grandes cargamentos de ayuda humanitaria partía hacia Venezuela. Nuestra comunidad ha demostrado una generosidad y humanidad extraordinarias ante esta tragedia.

U.S. and international rescue workers, including our military, need to be able to do their jobs in Venezuela without interference. They’re there to save lives.
Anyone who gets in the way of that, including Diosdado Cabello, will be held accountable and face consequences. This is the LAST person who needs to be calling the shots. Let rescue workers do what they’re there to do.
Our hearts are with the people of Venezuela. Miami-Dade stands with everyone affected by these devastating earthquakes. Miami-Dade is ready to help, and we invite our community to stand with the people of Venezuela during this difficult time.

We are with you. 🇻🇪

RELEASE: SOUTHCOM Leadership Arrives in Venezuela to Coordinate Earthquake Relief Support
U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Jarrard arrived in Caracas, Venezuela, today, to oversee Department of War support to Venezuela earthquake relief efforts.
Maj. Gen. Jarrard is serving as the senior U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) official on the ground and is working closely with partners to plan, coordinate, and direct the U.S. military’s unparalleled logistical and operational capabilities to support the rapid, life-saving movement of response personnel, equipment, and humanitarian assistance into affected areas.
SOUTHCOM is supporting Department of State-led U.S. government relief operations in Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that struck the nation June 24, 2026. The interim Government of Venezuela formally requested U.S. support following the earthquakes.

“Estados Unidos apoya al pueblo de Venezuela tras los terremotos devastadores de ayer.
Bajo dirección del presidente Trump, he movilizado al Departamento de Guerra para que trabaje junto al @StateDept para apoyar a los venezolanos. Nuestra misión es clara: salvar vidas y entregar rápidamente ayuda crítica donde sea más necesaria.
EE.UU. está comprometido con nuestro hemisferio. Cuando las vidas de nuestros amigos están en riesgo, Estados Unidos se moviliza.”
My heart goes out to the people of Venezuela as they face the devastation caused by these powerful earthquakes.
Thank you to @POTUS and @SecRubio for acting quickly to help the Venezuelan people during this tragedy. The United States stands ready to support search and rescue efforts and deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance.
Now more than ever, Delcy Rodríguez must put her agenda aside, allow international humanitarian aid to enter without delay, ensure access to rescue teams, satellite communications, and unrestricted internet services.
Further, she must IMMEDIATELY release the political prisoners who remain unjustly detained in Venezuela’s prisons.
U.S. citizens in Venezuela should remain alert, monitor updates from the U.S. Department of State, and follow guidance from U.S. officials as the situation develops.
To every Venezuelan family affected: we stand with you. Help is on the way.
Terrible news and devastating images out of Venezuela last night.
@erikadonalds and I are praying for the people of Venezuela and for our Venezuelan community here in Florida.
As President Trump said, the U.S. is ready, willing, and able to help.
The U.S. is mobilizing immediate, life-saving resources as part of a rapid, government-wide response in the wake of the earthquakes in Venezuela. President Trump immediately authorized the U.S. government to commit significant financial assistance, deploy search and rescue efforts, and collaborate with the interim Venezuelan authorities to address the acute needs of the Venezuelan people.
The U.S. Department of State is closely monitoring the aftermath of a large earthquake in Venezuela.
The United States extends our deepest condolences to the victims and are committed to supporting the people of Venezuela during this difficult time.
Americans in Venezuela should enroll at https://t.co/oYnZngvVsB and follow @TravelGov and @usembassyve for the latest information.
Embassy Caracas has reported that all U.S. personnel are accounted for.
Praying for the safety and wellbeing of Venezuelans affected by these earthquakes.
Rezo por la seguridad y el bienestar de los venezolanos afectados por estos terremotos.
The United States stands with the people of Venezuela after yesterday’s devastating earthquakes.
At President Trump’s direction, I immediately mobilized the War Department to work alongside the @StateDept to support the Venezuelan people. Our mission is clear: save lives and rapidly deliver critical aid where it is most needed.
The United States is committed to our hemisphere. When the lives of our friends are on the line, America moves.
The U.S. is mounting an immediate response and mobilizing support for the Venezuelan people affected by earthquakes.
We've deployed search-and-rescue teams and are providing consular assistance to Americans and their families.
