Trump: US to 'Run' Venezuela After Maduro Capture

President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will temporarily "run the country" of Venezuela. This follows the reported capture of the nation's leader, Nicolás Maduro, by U.S. special forces. Trump stated the U.S. administration would control Venezuela only until a secure transition of power is possible. He promised a move to a stable, democratic government. The announcement marks a direct and unprecedented level of U.S. involvement in the political crisis of the South American nation. For years, the U.S. and many other countries have recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate president, calling Maduro a dictator who rigged his election. The immediate reaction from Venezuela and the international community is not yet known. The situation develops as the U.S. prepares to assume temporary control.
