President Donald Trump has told a reporter that his plan for Iran is modeled on U.S. actions in Venezuela—even though the deposed leader of Venezuela is still alive.
Fox News host Bret Baier said the president told him over the phone that his plan in Iran mirrors that of Venezuela, where U.S. forces captured the country’s leader Nicolás Maduro in January and transported him to the U.S. to face drug trafficking charges.
In the aftermath, U.S. officials initially said they would “run the country until… a safe, proper and judicious transition” could be arranged. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has since been sworn in as interim president and retains authority.
