President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will be "very strongly involved" in Venezuela's oil industry following a US military operation that captured President Nicolás Maduro and removed him from the country, marking a dramatic escalation in Washington's campaign against the Venezuelan government.
Speaking to Fox News on Saturday, Trump confirmed that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were seized by US forces during overnight strikes on Caracas and other regions, and are now being transported to New York aboard a US warship. Maduro will face federal criminal charges in the United States, Trump said.
