“So, we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition, and it has to be judicious,” he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Trump said “we want peace, liberty and justice for the great people of Venezuela.”<\/p>

The president outlined that “all Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless as the men and women of our military, working with U.S. law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president said Venezuela was in a “ready position,” but he said “they were completely overwhelmed and very quickly incapacitated.”<\/p>

“It was an incredible thing to see,” he said. <\/p>
