""Maduro and his wife will soon face the full might of American justice and stand trial on American soil," Trump told reporters during a Saturday morning news conference. "They'll be heading to, ultimately, New York, and then a decision will be made, I assume, between New York and Miami or Florida." "But the overwhelming evidence of their crimes will be presented in a court of law," he said."
"The attack, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was carried out at 1am ET Saturday to provoke regime change and to take over the South American country's state-run oil reserves. With Maduro facing trial on U.S. soil, America is "going to run" Venezuela until a "proper transition can take place," Trump said. He also said that U.S. forces are "not afraid of boots on the ground," and suggested that America could also intervene in Mexico, Cuba and Colombia because of alleged drug trafficking in those countries."
Maduro and his wife are expected to be transported to the United States to face criminal charges, with New York and Miami cited as likely trial venues. An operation called Operation Absolute Resolve was executed at 1am ET to provoke regime change and to seize state-run oil reserves. The U.S. indicated plans to run Venezuela until a proper transition and expressed willingness to use ground forces, while also suggesting possible actions related to alleged drug trafficking in Mexico, Cuba and Colombia. MDC Brooklyn is the only federal detention center in New York City and houses roughly 1,300 mainly pretrial detainees.
