Financial giants UBS and Barclays are reportedly preparing to invest in Venezuela following the potential fall of President Nicolás Maduro, according to an exclusive report by Semafor released sometime between 9:46 PM and 10:15 PM UTC on November 4th, 2025. María Corina Machado met privately with global firms in Washington to discuss plans for the "day after" Maduro's potential departure.

This development follows previous confirmations on November 4th that the U.S. was considering military strikes and other actions against Venezuela. Pope Leo XIV also urged dialogue to resolve escalating tensions between the two nations between 9:16 PM and 9:46 PM UTC on November 4th. Meanwhile, the flying hospital Orbis MD-10-30F landed at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (BQN) in Puerto Rico during the reporting window. The aircraft landed via Runway 8 at BQN/TJBQ. Previous reports from November 4th indicated that Russia had delivered Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2E surface-to-air missile systems to Venezuela over the weekend. U.S. B-1 and B-52 bombers were also reported to be airborne around 4:46 PM UTC on November 4th.
