The politician also claims that the US actions “are not about drugs or democracy.” In her opinion, it's all about oil and Donald Trump's superpower ambitions. “If he cared about any of the above, he would not have pardoned a convicted drug trafficker or marginalized Venezuela's legal opposition by seeking deals with Maduro's cronies,” he emphasizes.
Donald Trump: We will rule Venezuela
— We will rule Venezuela until a safe, orderly and reasonable transition takes place — announced US President Donald Trump during a press conference. He added that he wants freedom for Venezuelans.
— We will rule the country until we manage to carry out a safe, appropriate and reasonable transformation. “We don't want to get involved in someone else coming into power and having the same situation we've had for the last many years,” Trump said.
The American president emphasized that he wants “peace, freedom and justice for the great people of Venezuela, including the many Venezuelans who currently live in the United States and want to return to their country.”
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is willing to “do what it takes to make Venezuela great again.” He stressed, however, that the country would be ruled by people chosen by the US.
Trump announced that the attack on Caracas was an operation not seen since World War II and suggested that American services turned off the lights in the Venezuelan capital during it. He also added that U.S. forces were ready for a second wave of attack and are still ready to do so if necessary.
