The U.S. President, Donald Trump, offers a press conference this Saturday after U.S. troops launched a large-scale attack against Venezuela.
The leader began his speech by saying that an operation like the one carried out in Venezuela "had not been seen since the Second World War." "Such an extraordinary success was achieved overnight. An impressive speed, power, precision, and competence. Rarely do you see something like that," he stated.

According to Trump, this became a reality thanks to the U.S. Army being "the strongest and most fearsome on the planet" and having "the best equipment in the world". After boasting about the magnitude of the attack, the occupant of the White House assured that his country wants "peace, freedom and justice for the great people of Venezuela", including many Venezuelans who now live in the United States and want to return to their homeland. "We cannot risk someone else taking control of Venezuela. Someone who does not have the good of the Venezuelan people in mind. We have been saying for decades that we will not allow that to happen. Now we are there," he expressed. "And what people don't understand, but they do understand, is that we say we are there now, but we will stay until the proper transition takes place," he stated. Hours earlier, the occupant of the White House reported that Washington carried out "a large-scale attack against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolás Maduro, who, along with his wife, has been captured and moved out of the country". The operation was carried out in collaboration with US law enforcement , he added.
