Trump: America will no longer allow threats to gain a foothold in the Western Hemisphere

Referring to the US military operation in Venezuela, Donald Trump said that US forces entered Caracas and arrested Nicolás Maduro. He added that hundreds of political prisoners in Venezuela have since been released, and the United States is working with the country's leaders for a "better future."

Trump also said that the United States and Venezuela signed an oil agreement last month for 65 billion barrels of oil and claimed that this agreement will help lower the price of energy in the world. He then said that America's actions in Venezuela show that Washington will no longer allow threats to America to gain a foothold in the Western Hemisphere and will use its military power to protect national interests if necessary.
