After the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, US President Donald Trump has given a shocking statement. Trump said that for now America will run Venezuela until a “safe, just and sensible” change of power is implemented there.
Donald Trump made this announcement during a press conference from his private residence in Florida. This statement came at a time when just a few hours ago, US Special Forces carried out an unprecedented military operation in the South American country Venezuela and detained President Nicolas Maduro along with his wife Cilia Flores.
Trump stated clearly at the press conference, “We are going to run the country until we can ensure a safe, fair, and just transition.”
According to Trump, the US’s objective is to restore stability in Venezuela and provide its people with a better and more responsible system of governance. He claimed that under the Maduro government, the country has been plagued by corruption, economic devastation, and serious human rights violations, which must now be ended.
The US President also indicated that this arrangement would be temporary and that power would be transferred to the Venezuelan people as soon as the situation returns to normal. However, Trump did not clarify how long this interim regime would last or how it would be implemented.
This statement is expected to spark sharp international reactions. Many countries have already condemned the US military action against Venezuela as a violation of international law and sovereignty. Meanwhile, Trump’s claim that the US will now run Venezuela could spark a major controversy in global politics.
At present, the whole world is watching how the power system will change in Venezuela and how America will implement its decision.
