Trump's Bold Venezuela Plan: US to 'Run' Nation, But Details Scarce
- •President Trump declared the US would "run" Venezuela until a "safe, proper and judicious transition" is achieved, without providing a timeline or clear governance plan.
- •Trump explicitly endorsed regime change, rejecting any continuation of the Maduro system and warning Venezuelan political and military figures.
- •He asserted overwhelming force, mentioning "air, land and sea" power and even suggesting US actions cut power in Caracas, though details were lacking.
- •Significant gaps remain regarding who would govern Venezuela in the interim, how authority would be exercised, and the role of American officials.
- •Trump emphasized American companies would fix Venezuela's oil infrastructure, framing it as a future "partnership" for the country's prosperity.
Why It Matters: Trump's Venezuela vision prioritizes US control and regime change, deferring crucial governance details.
