The devastating 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes hit shortly after 6pm, making them the strongest earthquakes to strike the country in more than a century. Entire buildings crumbled across Caracas and other major cities as terrified residents fled into the streets. Officials warn the death toll is expected to rise sharply as rescue crews continue digging through mountains of rubble. Tens Of Thousands Still Unaccounted ForA website established to track missing people has already logged more than 44,000 individuals who have yet to make contact with family members, raising fears that the true scale of the disaster could be far worse. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez declared a nationwide state of emergency, describing the destruction across several regions as catastrophic and urging Venezuelans to remain calm while emergency services continue rescue operations. The hardest-hit area appears to be La Guaira, which officials have described as a "disaster zone," with casualty figures there still unknown. Global Rescue Effort UnderwayCountries around the world have begun rushing aid and specialist rescue teams to Venezuela. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Washington was deploying search-and-rescue teams, medical supplies and humanitarian assistance. "We will have a whole government response," Rubio said. "It will be big. It will be fast. It will be effective." France has dispatched 85 rescue workers, while Qatar, Mexico and El Salvador have also sent emergency personnel. President Donald Trump offered America's support in a post on Truth Social. Survivors Describe Scenes Of HorrorResidents said the violent shaking threw people from their feet as apartment blocks swayed and walls collapsed around them. "The building really shook from side to side," said Caracas resident Roberto Gamas. "We were walking and it was tossing us around. Everything in the apartment fell. Thank God we were able to get out." Authorities have urged residents to remain outdoors, warning that powerful aftershocks could trigger further building collapses. The US Geological Survey said the earthquakes are likely to result in "high casualties," with rescue operations expected to continue for days as emergency workers search desperately for survivors buried beneath the wreckage.

I lived there 62 years and saw what's gone on all along. Good and bad, corruption and democracy, in all campaigns. Just like in your country.

Speaking at a Mack Trucks facility on June 23, Trump sought to steer attention away from the conflict with Iran and rising fuel prices, instead focusing on the economy, immigration and cultural issues ahead of November's midterm elections. 'How Good A Speech Was That?'Following the event, Trump appeared pleased with his performance. Approaching reporters before boarding Air Force One, he asked: "How good a speech was that? Did you have a good time?" The president smiled and waved before departing for Joint Base Andrews after the Pennsylvania visit. Despite Trump's confidence, the reaction from some viewers was far less enthusiastic. Fox Viewers Vent OnlineAfter Fox News cut away from the live rally and returned to studio analysis, critics took to social media to complain about the speech's length and style. Some described the address as "incoherent rambling," while others argued Trump frequently changed subjects and spent too much time praising his own record. One commenter wrote that they "pitied" those who remained for the full 90-minute speech, while another claimed it lacked focus and wandered between unrelated topics. However, Trump also received support from viewers who praised his speaking style, with one supporter describing him as "a great speaker" who connects well with audiences and the media. Rally Focuses On Economy And Culture WarsDuring the speech, Trump discussed immigration, the economy and the ongoing situation with Iran before launching into an extended attack on transgender athletes competing in women's sports. While illustrating one example, Trump acted out a weightlifting scenario, using exaggerated gestures and vocal impressions to describe what he argued was an unfair competitive advantage. He repeated his long-held position that biological males should not compete in women's sporting events, calling it a "99% issue." Mixed ReceptionThe Pennsylvania appearance highlighted Trump's continued reliance on the campaign rally format, with lengthy, unscripted speeches remaining a central part of his political style. Supporters argue the free-flowing format allows Trump to connect directly with voters in a way few politicians can. Critics, however, say the extended speeches often drift between subjects, making it difficult for his core political message to break through. With the midterm elections approaching, the president appears determined to keep holding large rallies as he attempts to shift public attention back toward domestic issues after months dominated by the conflict with Iran.
