Trump Declares Plan for Venezuela’s Future
During a conversation with a media outlet on Sunday, Trump dismissed worries that the extraordinary military campaign, which led to the detention of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, might entangle Washington in a prolonged conflict similar to Iraq or Afghanistan.
He described the intervention as an effort to rescue “literally a third world country ready to fail” after years of socialist governance.
Trump asserted, “We should run the country properly. We should run the country with law and order. We should run the country where we can take advantage of the economics of what they have – which is valuable oil and valuable other things.”
On Sunday, Venezuela’s Supreme Court officially instructed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez to take over the presidency to ensure the “continuity of the State” and “defense of sovereignty.”
Rodriguez acknowledged that she had communicated with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, portraying it as a matter of safeguarding national honor.
She declared that Caracas is mainly prepared for “respectful relations” with Washington, while also affirming that Venezuela “will never return to being the colony of another empire” and “never return to being slaves.”
