Trump says US ‘in charge’ of Venezuela after Maduro grab

What happened

President Donald Trump Sunday night told reporters that the U.S. is “in charge” of Venezuela after the U.S. military seized its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife in a raid on Caracas early Saturday. Trump on Saturday said the U.S. would “run the country” and its oil wealth for an unspecified period of time, and he was “not afraid of boots on the ground.” But Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier Sunday said the U.S. is “running policy” in Venezuela through coercion and duress, not direct rule.
