It’s been almost a week since US forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. US President Trump has now told The New York Times that the country’s interim government is cooperating fully and, quote, ‘giving us everything that we feel is necessary.’
President Trump says the United States has already begun taking Venezuelan oil and plans to control its sale indefinitely, arguing the arrangement will lower global oil prices while generating revenue both for the US and for Venezuela’s reconstruction.
The President has offered no timeline for how long the United States plans to oversee the country, and he has offered no commitments on elections, saying only that America’s role in Venezuela will last ‘much longer’ than months.
