Summary

President Trump’s hour long press conference had several bombshells in it. First, Trump told Americans the U.S. will run Venezuela until a proper transition can take place. He also said U.S. oil companies would be going into Venezuela to rebuild the infrastructure and start making money. We also learned that Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife will "face the full might of American justice" and stand trial in the United States. As of this recording, they are both on a U.S. warship headed to New York.
