"US To Run Venezuela For Now": Donald Trump's Announcement After Maduro's Capture | Read
US President Donald Trump made a stunning claim that the US "will run" Venezuela until a "proper and judicious" transition was in effect. The announcement came at a press conference from Trump's Florida mansion, hours after US special forces launched an unprecedented attack on the oil-rich South American nation, and captured its President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.
"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," Trump said. "We don't want to be involved with having someone else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country."
