US President Donald Trump during a press conference regarding his attack on Venezuela and capturing its President Nicolas Maduro and his wife to face narco- trafficking charges in New York

Well he did it. Early this morning President Trump attacked Venezuela and according to him his troops captured Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and flown them out of the country to the US.

Reports are sketchy at the moment yet US special ops troops were flown in by helicopter gunships where they captured Maduro and his wife Celia Flores and flown to the US to stand trial for narco-trafficking according to US Attorney General Pam Bondi. [1]

Trump just held a news conference from his residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Here a few highlights from that news conference:

"Trump said the United States would 'run' Venezuela"

He offered few details how the US would run Venezuela saying only "a group" would do so.

He did indicate he was not afraid of putting "boots on the ground".

He spoke at length about American oil company's remaking the country's energy infrastructure.

He said Maduro and his wife were taken to New York to face drug and weapons charges.

If anyone doubt's it, this whole affair by Trump is about Venezuela's oil and the US taking it.

Maduro and his wife will undoubtedly be convicted of narco-terrorism but that's a ruse, just the thin veil over Trump's seizing Venezuela's oil.

Let's not mince words. What Trump has done is committing outright aggression against a sovereign country and its legitimately elected president.

All he's done is make allegations that Maduro is a narco-terrorist and is the illegitimate president of Venezuela.
