Trump says US role in Venezuela could last for years
"United States President Donald Trump has said that only time will tell how long his country will call the shots in Venezuela after the recent abduction of President Nicolas Maduro by US special forces, as the Venezuelan interior minister said 100 people were killed in the operation."
"We will rebuild it [Venezuela] in a very profitable way, he said. We're going to be using oil, and we're going to be taking oil. We're getting oil prices down, and we're going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need."
"US troops snatched Maduro and his wife on Saturday in a dramatic attack involving 150 jets taking off from 20 airbases, whisking them to New York to face trial on drug and weapons charges."
US special forces abducted President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and transported them to New York to face drug and weapons charges. The operation left 100 people dead and dozens wounded. The United States indicated it would exercise prolonged oversight in Venezuela and asserted control over the country's oil sales indefinitely. An interim authority in Caracas claimed no foreign power governs the capital, while the US signaled coordination with that interim government. The raid allegedly involved 150 jets from 20 airbases. Plans described include rebuilding Venezuela profitably, using and seizing oil, lowering oil prices, and providing funds to Venezuela.
