US president confirms temporary control of country after Maduro's ouster, rules out immediate transfer of power
President Donald Trump has made it clear during his press conference that the United States will take direct control of Venezuela, following the military attack that led to the overthrow and arrest of Nicolás Maduro.
" We will lead the country until we are confident that we can make a safe, orderly and measured transition, " Trump told reporters, adding that the US does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past by allowing power to pass to " someone else who will bring in the same regime ."
The President emphasized that the goal is not to immediately install a new local government, but for the process to be controlled by Washington until political and institutional stability in the country is guaranteed.
" We have seen what has happened for many years in Venezuela, and we cannot allow it to happen again. Therefore, we will lead the country, responsibly and forcefully, until the time comes for a sustainable transition ," Trump said.
This statement reinforces the clear signal that the US has taken responsibility not only for the overthrow of the Maduro regime, but also for the subsequent phase of governance, placing Venezuela under temporary American administration.
At this stage, it has not yet been clarified what form this "interim management" of the Venezuelan state will take, nor how long it will last, but sources from the State Department have warned of a transitional structure supported by international forces and credible opposition actors.
