US President Donald Trump on Saturday said the United States would “run” Venezuela after overnight military strikes that led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro. Speaking at a press conference in Florida, Trump said the US would oversee the country during a transition period. “We’re going to run the country until a safe transition takes place,” he said. Trump praised the operation, calling it a powerful display of US military strength. He said Washington would not allow another leader to take over without protecting Venezuelan interests. He added that US forces would stay in the country for now.
