Trump Details Venezuela Operation, Threatens Second Wave of Attacks

Donald Trump announced a military operation in Caracas, Venezuela, resulting in the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Trump described the operation as unprecedented since World War II, emphasizing the effectiveness of the US military and the lack of casualties. According to Trump, the US military managed to paralyze the Venezuelan army and capture Maduro, while also causing a general blackout in Caracas. Maduro and his wife will face US justice for drug trafficking and other charges. Trump stated that the US is ready to launch a second, larger attack if necessary, but believes the first operation was so successful that this will not be required. He expressed his intention to send American oil companies to Venezuela to rebuild the oil industry. The US president assured that the US will continue to cooperate with Venezuela to ensure the safety, prosperity, and independence of its people. He also accused Maduro of being responsible for drug trafficking, terrorism, and the deaths of thousands of Americans.
