Last night, US President Donald Trump joked that if the operation of US special forces to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela had failed, he would have pretended to have opposed it from the beginning.
The American leader noted that members of the Democratic Party, his opposition, criticize him for the operation. “Why are they against the attack on Venezuela? They oppose it after they realized that this is perhaps the most successful attack – "probably the most talented, brilliant, tactically calculated attack that we've had, maybe, in the last 100 years. And they're against it," Trump said.
"If the attack had failed, I probably would have done the same thing: changed my position and said, 'I told them not to do that.' But here we have one of the most successful attacks in history, and they're still finding a way to counter it," he concluded.
