United States President Donald Trump has stated that the United States will oversee Venezuela as it transitions to new leadership.
President Trump stated this on Saturday during a press conference following a U.S. strike on Venezuela, where President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured.
“We can’t take a chance that somebody else takes over Venezuela that doesn’t have the good of the Venezuelan people in mind,” he said.
Trump added that the oil business in Venezuela was “a bust,” and that American oil companies will be spending “billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country.”
He stated that all political and military figures in Venezuela should understand that what happened to Maduro could happen to them.
“Venezuelan people are free again,” he adds. He also says America is a “safer” and “prouder nation” today.
Also speaking, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth described the operation this morning as “a massive joint military and law enforcement raid, flawlessly executed“.
He said Maduro “had his chance, just like Iran had their chance, but he effed around.”
