On Saturday, President #DonaldTrump held a press conference following the large-scale strike against  #Venezuela and the capture of the country’s leader, #NicolásMaduro.

While giving a detailed rundown on how the capture came about, Trump claimed that the U.S. would “run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition.” He continued to state, “We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.”

Trump also shared during the press conference that the U.S. is ready to conduct another attack, but it will no longer be needed. “We are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so,” he said. He added, “We actually assumed a second wave would be necessary; now it’s probably not.”

The president also shared the U.S’s plan to use Venezuela’s oil to sell to other countries. He spoke on fixing Venezuela’s oil infrastructure and added, “We’re in the oil business. We’re going to sell it to them.”

Trump’s actions were met with various reactions from congressional members, both Democratic and Republican, as they debunked Trump’s reason for invading Venezuela as a fight against drugs. Some even challenged his argument against drugs after he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, the former President of Honduras, who is a known drug trafficker.
