Venezuela, Trump: “Maduro’s capture was a brilliant operation”

Rome, Jan. 3 (LaPresse) – In a brief phone interview with the New York Times, US President Donald Trump hailed the success of the mission to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. “Great planning and a lot of great troops and people. It was a brilliant operation, actually,” Trump said. Asked whether he had sought authorization from Congress for the operation or what the next steps for Venezuela would be, Trump replied that he would address those issues during the press conference scheduled at Mar-a-Lago (at 5 p.m. Italian time).
