WASHINGTON _ The Trump administration is quietly planning to move quickly to revive the Venezuelan economy after the fall of Nicolas Maduro by working with banks in the region to prepare for an infusion of U.S. dollars and investment to revitalize the oil-rich economy, a top White House economic official said Wednesday.
"We call it Day Two. I am heavily involved along with (Commerce Secretary) Wilbur Ross ... we have a lot of plans to revitalize the Venezuelan economy and to move very rapidly," said Larry Kudlow, director of the White House National Economic Council.
Speaking to a small group of reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Kudlow outlined preparations happening behind the scenes for what the White House views as the eventual fall of Maduro.
