“The US will be involved in Venezuela’s oil industry”
The US will be “very involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry and the country’s future governance after this morning’s attack and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Donald Trump tells Fox News.
No US soldiers were killed in the operation. The president says the US waited several days to carry out the operation in good weather.
According to AFP, Trump is said to have followed the capture live. He says it was like “watching a TV series”.
Maduro, who has long been wanted by the US, wanted to negotiate in the days before the attack, according to Trump.
– I didn’t want to negotiate. I said ‘no, we have to do it’, he says.
According to Trump, Maduro is on a ship heading to the US, where he will be tried.
Military top: 150 military aircraft were used in the operation
More than 150 American aircraft and helicopters participated in the operation that led to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, says military top Dan Caine at a press conference with Donald Trump.
He says that the operation took place in close cooperation between several units, with the goal of bringing a force down on the ground in the central parts of the capital. He says that the surprise effect was important.
– A failure in any part of this well-oiled machine would have jeopardized the entire mission.
Maduro is now on his way to the United States, where, according to the Trump administration, he will be charged with "narcoterrorism."
