US president Donald Trump took some time out from the Iran War to goad the Venezuelans through a post before the final: “Good things are happening to Venezuela lately!
I wonder what this magic is all about?
STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”
The game was played at Miami’s LoanDepot Park in front of a sold-out crowd of 36,190, reported The Guardian, before adding that the fans were “mostly pro-Venezuela spectators”.
The American team fielded by the hosts has been called a “Dream Team” because it was loaded with Major League Baseball stars.
Even though these days US president Donald Trump is occupied with the war against Iran in the Middle East, he took some time out to goad the Venezuelans through a Truth Social post on Monday night before the final: “Good things are happening to Venezuela lately!
I wonder what this magic is all about?
STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”
Trump repeated that joke after the South American team defeated the USA team 3-2 in the final on Tuesday night, posting on his social media account: “STATEHOOD!!!
President DJT”.
“We’re here to speak baseball,” Venezuela outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr had said before the game when asked to comment on Trump’s comments.
The visiting team did just that, defeating the mighty Americans.
“My country needs that championship,” Acuña Jr later said after the triumph as he wiped tears from his eyes.
“I just want to make my people proud.
That’s what I did today.”
Venezuela acting president Delcy Rodríguez declared Wednesday a National Day of Joy and made it a non-working holiday except for essential workers.
