US plans to 'run' Venezuela and tap its oil reserves, Trump says, after operation to oust Maduro
President Donald Trump says the United States will run Venezuela at least temporarily after an audacious military operation plucked leader Nicolás Maduro from power and removed him from the country.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
It was not immediately clear what was behind the explosions. Venezuela’s government, the Pentagon and White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
People in various neighborhoods rushed to the streets. Some could be seen in the distance from various areas of Caracas.
