The U.S. President Trump held a press conference on the U.S. military action against Venezuela on January 3 local time.
Trump said that the U.S. military used air, land and sea forces in the operation. Trump said, "This is one of the most shocking, effective and powerful displays of American military strength and capability."
Trump said that "all military forces in Venezuela have been neutralized," and both Maduro and his wife will face American judicial trials. Trump also hinted that the U.S. had cut off the power supply in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.
Trump said, "We will continue to take control of the country until we can safely, properly and fairly complete the transfer of power." Trump also said that large U.S. oil companies would be allowed to enter Venezuela.
Trump said that he originally thought a second wave of operations was needed, but now it seems it may not be necessary. However, if necessary, the U.S. is ready to launch a second round of attacks.
At 11:39 a.m. local time on January 3, Beijing time today (0:39 a.m. on January 4), U.S. President Trump and Defense Secretary Esper held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to discuss the U.S. military action against Venezuela, the detention of Venezuelan President Maduro and his removal from the country.
