Donald Trump has defended the recent US military operation in Venezuela that saw President Nicolás Maduro and his wife taken into custody, saying the United States is prepared to run the country and possibly repeat similar actions elsewhere.
Trump's comments, made after a surprise air and ground assault that struck Caracas and resulted in Maduro being transported to New York on a US ship, have sparked a storm of criticism online. However, social media blasted Trump's rhetoric as 'imperialist' and 'dangerous', while others questioned its legality.
