Only me here so I'm everything pro.
What you write is a possibility, what Wyatt said (link above) and what my thoughts on it certainly goes towards that direction.
Plus in foreign relations the US has a number of countries with regimes they consider "enemy" and Trump goes through the list of them, and does something showy about it.
The US handles their enemies by default with Containment policy. But there are a number of options, such as Engagement, Persuasion, Invasion, Bombing, Support Inside Opposition (guerillas, revolution), and such.
So Trump did something about China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela (there was something in Africa too, I don't remember from the top of my heda). Next might be North Korea, or goes back to Iran as he returns back to China and Russia as well. Tho the latter two are considerably more important than the rest.
Perhaps Trump is fine with Venezuela for the time being (for couple of months), they can put some pressure their with scaring them with military presence, he can focus on something else. Surely there will be a big show trial to fill the media until noone can eat more of that.
