US plans to 'run' Venezuela and tap its oil reserves, Trump says
President Donald Trump says the United States will run Venezuela at least temporarily after an audacious military operation plucked leader NicolΓ‘s Maduro from power and removed him from the country. Trump on Saturday also described plans to tap Venezuela's vast oil reserves to sell to other nations. The dramatic action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on the South American nation and its autocratic leader and months of secret planning. It resulted in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Legal experts immediately raised questions about whether the operation was lawful.
