He declared that America will \u201crun the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,\u201d but <strong data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"848\">provided few details about how that governance would work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1154\">Trump also <strong data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"962\">signaled deep involvement in Venezuela\u2019s vast oil industry<\/strong>, saying U.S. companies would help rebuild and manage the nation\u2019s energy infrastructure\u2014a move some analysts see as driven by strategic energy interests.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1586\">The surprise operation, reportedly executed by U.S. special forces, brought Maduro and his wife to <strong data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1267\">New York<\/strong>, where they face federal charges including narcoterrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro\u2019s detention and swift extradition to the United States have sparked <strong data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1453\">international condemnation<\/strong>, with critics labeling the action a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty and international law.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1959\">Domestically, reactions have been mixed: some Republican allies praised the bold move, while notables from both parties have questioned the legal basis and potential long-term costs of U.S. involvement. Globally, several nations and the UN have expressed alarm at the precedent of one country seizing control of another\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2213\">In Venezuela, <strong data-start=\"1975\" data-end=\"2073\">Vice President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez has been named interim president by the country\u2019s Supreme Court<\/strong>, but she has denounced Maduro\u2019s removal as a \u201ckidnapping\u201d and vowed to defend Venezuelan sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2215\" data-end=\"2447\">As the world watches the unfolding situation, Washington faces mounting pressure to clarify how it will govern Venezuela and navigate the complex legal and geopolitical fallout from its boldest international intervention in decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump Orders Venezuela Power Shift U.S. asserts control after dramatic capture of President Maduro In a historic and controversial move, U.S. President **Donald Trump announced that the United States will temporarily take charge of Venezuela following a dramatic overnight military operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife.
