Trump says US could control Venezuela 'much longer' than a year

The United States could oversee the political happenings in Venezuela for “much longer” than three months to a year, President Donald Trump said.

Trump made the comments in a two-hour interview with New York Times reporters, less than one week after the U.S. military staged an overnight operation to capture former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro on Saturday. An interim government, led by acting President Delcy Rodriguez, remains in place in Venezuela, but it is seemingly cooperating with the Trump administration.
