Donald Trump said on Saturday the US will "run" Venezuela for the time being, until "we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition". During a press conference held from his residence in Florida on January 3, the US President also shared the US military will be ready to carry out a second, "much bigger" wave of strikes on the Latin American country, should it be deemed necessary.
The United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him out of the country in a stunning military operation early Saturday that plucked a sitting leader from office — the culmination of months of escalating Trump administration pressure on the oil-rich South American nation.
