"President Donald Trump signaled an extended American involved in Venezuela after the U.S. military captured Nicolas Maduro to face drug charges in New York. In comments to reporters on Saturday, Trump said U.S. officials would be in charge and didn't shy away from putting troops in the country. "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe proper and judicious transition," he said."
""I think she was quite gracious, but she really doesn't have a choice," he added. "We're going to have this done right. We're not going to just do this with Maduro then leave like everybody else-leave and say, you know, let it go to hell. If we just left, it has zero chance of ever coming back. We'll run it properly. We'll run it professionally.""
President Donald Trump signaled extended U.S. involvement in Venezuela following the U.S. military capture of Nicolas Maduro on drug charges. He said U.S. officials would be in charge and did not rule out deploying troops. Trump said the United States would govern Venezuela until a safe, proper, and judicious transition could occur. He proposed using Venezuela's oil wealth to fund the mission and to reimburse American companies whose assets were nationalized. He predicted U.S. energy firms would invest billions to rebuild oil infrastructure while maintaining the U.S. oil embargo. Trump said the State Department and Pentagon would control Venezuela with cooperation from Maduro-era officials.
