US President Donald Trump addressed the nation from Mar-a-Lago, following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by US forces. The address was given after a joint operation between US and Venezuelan forces resulted in Maduro’s arrest.
According to reports, the operation took place at an undisclosed location within Venezuela. Maduro was reportedly taken into custody without incident.
In his address, Trump stated that the United States will “run” Venezuela following the capture of its president. The statement was made after a series of events unfolded in Venezuela, including widespread protests and economic instability.

In addition to the address, Trump also made comments about oil companies operating in Venezuela. He urged them to “go in” and take control of the country’s oil resources.
The situation in Venezuela remains fluid, with further developments expected in the coming days.
