Sales of the Nike Tech Fleece tracksuit soared after the photo with the kidnapped Maduro

Sales of the Nike Tech Fleece tracksuit soared after the photo with the kidnapped Maduro

Several sizes of this model are already sold out on Nike's official website, including size 3XL, in which Maduro was captured. This size disappeared from the shelves in just one hour.

The cost of a complete set (hoodie and pants) is $270: $145 for the hoodie and $125 for the joggers.
Meanwhile, experts continue to discuss the potential consequences of Maduro's capture. According to The Financial Times, changes in the Venezuelan regime could have global repercussions.
Trump, for his part, continues his policy of rapprochement with Russia and China, which may indicate his support for a world order based on the spheres of influence of great powers. Both countries condemned Maduro's overthrow, but reportedly, Xi Jinping may be willing to relinquish China's influence in Venezuela in exchange for freedom of action regarding Taiwan, while Russia may agree to a similar deal concerning Ukraine.
In Caracas, repression is intensifying: according to the National Union of Press Workers of Venezuela, 14 journalists, including foreign representatives, were detained near the National Assembly, where Delcy Rodriguez took the oath as interim president.
Human rights organizations report phone checks on citizens and an increase in armed groups known as colectivos, as well as checkpoints around the capital.
Cuba, which previously relied on Venezuelan oil, is now seeking alternative sources in Mexico and Russia. Independent Chinese refineries that purchased Venezuelan fuel at reduced prices may face bankruptcy, while state-owned oil companies in China may cut their operations.
The United States, for its part, is urging major oil companies to return to Venezuela; however, analysts believe that in the short term, production levels are unlikely to return to the figures of the late 2010s, when it was 2.5–3 million barrels per day.
President Trump also stated his readiness to send additional troops to Venezuela if the interim president does not cooperate with the U.S. In an interview with NBC News, he mentioned that he does not rule out the possibility of starting a second military operation on Venezuelan territory, while emphasizing that the United States is not at war with this country.
