AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump declared Saturday's military operation that led to the ouster of Nicolás Maduro a major success as he offered a vague plan for his administration “to run” Venezuela until a transition of power can take place.

Capture of Maduro and US claim it will run Venezuela raise new legal questions

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration's capture of Venezuela's president and plans to “run” the country are raising stark new questions about the legality of the U.S. moves under a broader campaign against the South American nation.
