BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 3. The U.S. is going to stay in Venezuela until such time as a proper transition can take place, said US President Donald Trump during today's press conference, TurkicWorld reports.
"Not one piece of military equipment was lost, not one service member was more importantly killed. The United States military is the strongest and most fearsome military on the planet by far with capabilities and skills our enemies can scarcely begin to imagine. We have the best equipment anywhere in the world. There's no equipment like what we have and you see that even if you just look at the boats, you know, we've knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by sea, 90%. Each boat kills 25, on average, 25,000 people. We knocked out 97% and those drugs mostly come from a place called Venezuela," he said.
Trump emphasized that the U.S. is going to run Venezuela until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition.
"We don't want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious because that's what we're all about. We want peace, liberty, and justice for the great people of Venezuela, and that includes many from Venezuela that are now living in the United States and want to go back to their country. It's their homeland. We can't take a chance that somebody else takes over Venezuela that doesn't have the good of the Venezuelan people in mind. We've had decades of that. We're not going to let that happen. We're there now. And what people don't understand, but they understand as I say this, we're there now, but we're going to stay until such time as the proper transition can take place. So we're going to stay, we're going to run it essentially until such time as a proper transition can take place," President of the U.S. added.
