WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump on Saturday said the United States will control
Venezuela for an unspecified period and is “not afraid” to have military forces
on the ground after a nighttime operation resulted in the capture of Venezuelan
President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
“It was an
assault like people have not seen since World War II,” Trump said during a news
conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. “We’re going to run the
country until such a time we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.
And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack, if we need to do
so.”

Hours after an
audacious military operation that plucked leader Nicolás Maduro from power and
removed him from the country, President Donald Trump said Saturday that the
United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil
reserves to sell to other nations.
The dramatic
action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on the South
American nation and its autocratic leader and months of secret planning
resulting in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since
the 2003

(Tribune News
Service) — The overnight attacks in Venezuela and the subsequent capture of
President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a U.S. military operation on Saturday
triggered sharp international reactions, ranging from European Union calls for
de-escalation to condemnations from some of Latin America’s leaders, who
described the use of force as “unacceptable.”
“The
Government of Mexico condemns and strongly rejects the military actions
unilaterally carried out in recent hours by the armed forces of the United
States of America against targets in the territory of the Bolivarian Republic
of Venezuela,” a statement posted by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said.

WASHINGTON —
For months, the U.S. military had been amassing a presence off Venezuela’s
coast and conspicuously blowing up alleged drug trafficking boats and killing
the occupants.
At the same
time, U.S. intelligence agencies were carefully studying the country’s
authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro, learning minute details such as his
eating habits while special forces secretly rehearsed a plan to forcibly remove
him.
