Nicolás Maduro flown to New York after Trump says US will 'run Venezuela'
Explosions were heard in Caracas overnight as the US carried out a strike on the Venezuelan capital.
"Trump says US will 'run Venezuela' after President Nicolas Maduro captured"
"Donald Trump has said the US is going to "run" Venezuela to clear the way for a "safe, proper and judicious" transition of power after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured in a US raid."
"“We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he boasted that “no nation in the world could achieve what America achieved”."
"Trump did not rule out the possibility of further US military involvement to help shape Venezuela's future, telling reporters in Florida: “We’re not afraid of boots in the ground.”"
Essentially Trump says US oil companies will be making loads of money "for Venezuela", but you can bet that it'll be for themselves.
However, the US does not control Venezuela. It's still being run by the same party, same system.
So, in order to run it, Trump has to invade. Which will be a lot harder than kidnapping someone. Especially in a jungle country with Chinese weapons and money.
