President Trump has insisted that Venezuela must be restored to 'law and order' and economic discipline before any meaningful elections can take place, sparking debate over the role the US might play in determining the country's political future.
Speaking to The Post on Sunday, Trump emphasised that Venezuela's current political chaos renders elections a secondary concern. 'We should run the country properly,' he said. 'We should run the country with law and order. We should run the country where we can take advantage of the economics of what they have — which is valuable oil and valuable other things.'
