US President Donald Trump’s administration said Wednesday it intends to dictate the decisions of Venezuela‘s interim leaders and control the country’s oil sales “indefinitely” after toppling Nicolas Maduro.
“We obviously have maximum leverage over the interim authorities in Venezuela right now” following the US operation that captured Maduro on Saturday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing.
“We’re continuing to be in close coordination with the interim authorities, and their decisions are going to continue to be dictated by the United States of America.” (AFP)
