What are the U.S. government’s plans for Maduro? Trump’s main objective in Venezuela
The Venezuelan president was “captured” by Trump and taken to an undisclosed location.
Donald Trump carried out what he called a “large scale attack on Venezuela” while also revealing that he had “captured” sitting President Nicolás Maduro.
At present, answers are not available for most of the questions that everyone has across the world, with eyes firmly fixed on a potential announcement from Trump as to where he is keeping Maduro and his wife.
Rumours of oil and natural resources have long been swirling as one of the potential objectives for the Trump administration, who have been acting under the guise of stopping a drugs war against the US. He has also focussed a lot of his anti-immigrant rhetoric around Venezuelans that make their way to the United States.
