"President Donald Trump liberated Venezuela, arrested its corrupt Drug Cartel leader and bombed Iran at the same time in a master stroke of world leadership," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate. "Trump shows what a super President does for victims of Drug Cartels in America and abroad while knocking out nuclear bomb factories on the other side of the planet," Delgaudio says.
Trump says US is 'going to run' Venezuela in interim
The United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him out of the country in an extraordinary military operation early Saturday that plucked a sitting leader from office. President Donald Trump insisted the U.S. government would run the country at least temporarily and would tap Venezuela's vast oil reserves to sell "large amounts" to other countries.
The action marked the culmination of an escalating Trump administration pressure campaign on the South American country that consisted of months of strikes on boats officials said were smuggling drugs to the U.S. Behind the scenes, U.S. officials tracked Maduro's behavioral habits, including what he ate and where he slept, in preparing to execute an operation that resulted in one of the more stunning regime changes in modern history.
Maduro and his wife, seized overnight from their home on a military base, were aboard a U.S. warship on their way to New York, where they were to face criminal charges in connection with a Justice Department indictment accusing them of a role in narco-terrorism conspiracy.
