U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the nation on the morning of Jan. 3 following the successful capture and extradition of Venezuelan leader and suspected narcotrafficker Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
The president, sharing details of the joint military and law enforcement operation, announced that the United States will run Venezuela until the country is ready for a transition of power and hinted that Cuba, a neighboring autocratic regime, could be next.
