Trump Vows to 'Run Venezuela,' Warns 'You Could Be Next'

  • Trump declared the US will "run the country" in Venezuela, aiming for a "safe, proper and judicious transition" without the Maduro system.
  • He offered no timeline or operational details, vaguely stating "a group" or his advisors would manage the country.
  • Trump issued a direct warning to Venezuelan officials: "what happened to Maduro can happen to them," and entertained "boots on the ground."
  • He repeatedly emphasized Venezuela's oil, stating US companies would rebuild infrastructure and "make a lot of money," selling oil to other countries.
  • Justified the intervention under "America First" for oil/energy needs, claimed "it won't cost us anything," and asserted a "perfect record of winning" on interventions.
