President Donald Trump’s former special envoy to Venezuela said he has little confidence in the president’s plans to “run” the country.
“You know, nobody else used that word ‘run’ until he did,” Elliott Abrams, who served as the special representative for Venezuela during Trump’s first term, said of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago speech following the capture of Nicolás Maduro on Saturday.
Speaking to host Manu Raju on Inside Politics Sunday, he continued: “And my thought is that that didn’t appear in some, you know, paper done through a long inter-agency process, that it just came out of the president, and that nobody else expected to run Venezuela. It would be extremely difficult.”
