Donald Trump just held a press conference following the United States invasion of Venezuela. This press conference was an absolute disaster. Donald Trump said that the United States will now be in charge and will be running Venezuela.

What happened at the press conference announcing the U.S. invasion of Venezuela?

Ben Meiselas 1:06
Donald Trump again said the reason the United States invaded Venezuela is we wanted to take their oil and now our big beautiful oil companies will take control of the venezuelan oil which donald trump says was stolen from the united states donald trump also says that maria corina machado the main opposition leader in venezuela does not have the support of the venezuelan people and she should not be running the country Let me break down what just took place at this disastrous press conference at Mar-a-Lago following the United States invasion of Venezuela. Here, Donald Trump says the United States will be running Venezuela. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 1:52
We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition. So... We don't want to be involved with having somebody else get in. And we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious transition.
Ben Meiselas 2:22
because that's what we're all about. Then Donald Trump says our very large United States oil companies will be going in to seize the infrastructure there. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:33
As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust, a total bust for a long period of time. They were pumping almost nothing by comparison to what they could have been pumping and what could have taken place. We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure. and start making money for the country.
Ben Meiselas 3:09
He then randomly starts talking about saving Los Angeles and that Los Angeles would be destroyed if it wasn't for Donald Trump. He is a deranged lunatic. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 3:21
And likewise, Los Angeles, where we saved Los Angeles early on, where the head of the police department made a statement that if the federal government didn't come in we would have lost los angeles that's after long after the fires that's when they had the riots in los angeles we did a great job got no credit for it whatsoever but that's okay it doesn't matter we don't need the credit then donald trump says that the monroe doctrine which says the united states must dominate the western hemisphere
Ben Meiselas 3:50
will now be called the Don road doctrine and the United States will be using force all across the Western hemisphere. I will show you some other clips where he goes on to threaten Columbia, where he goes on to threaten Cuba. Um, but here is what he says about the Don road doctrine here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:09
And the Monroe doctrine is a big deal, but we've superseded it by a lot, by a real lot. They now call it the Donro document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it. It was very important, but we forgot about it. We don't forget about it anymore. Under our new national security strategy, American dominance in the Western Hemisphere, will never be questioned again. It won't happen.
Ben Meiselas 4:40
And Donald Trump says that the invasion of Venezuela and the invasion that may take place of other countries in Latin America are core to national security like tariffs. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:53
Far greater dominance right now. Everyone's coming back to us. The future will be determined by the ability to protect commerce and territory and resources that are core to national security. These are core to our national security, just like tariffs are. They made our country rich and they've made our national security strong, stronger than ever before. But these are the iron laws that have always determined global power.
