@newyorktimes @world-newyorktimes OK, this is very helpful:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/us/politics/maduro-venezuela-trump-legal-issues.html'Shortly after declaring that United States would “run the country” at a news conference, Mr. Trump seemed to suggest that his plan was to pressure Mr. Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, to simply obey him.'That makes a lot more sense. I mean, it's stupid and crazy, but as far as I can tell the US has no remaining presence in Venezuela, and is definitely not in control of the country.
