US President Donald Trump, speaking in a suburb of Las Vegas, Nevada, described Venezuelan oil as a trophy won by the United States. During the mission, US troops captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and took them out of the country. According to Trump, the United States acted "the old-fashioned way" and gained many times more from Venezuelan oil than it spent on the operation. Trump also cited estimates indicating that the United States and Venezuela together hold 60% of the world’s oil and gas reserves. Delcy Rodriguez, who served as Venezuela’s executive vice president under Maduro, is performing the duties of head of state.
