U.S. President Donald Trump stated the United States would administer Venezuela until a political transition occurs, following a U.S. military strike on the country that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump made the announcement during a news conference Saturday, hours after the military action in Caracas.

"The US would run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," Trump said. He added, "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."

The U.S. military action, which involved air strikes on the Venezuelan capital, took place in the early hours of Saturday. The stated justification for the intervention has not yet been fully clarified by the Trump administration.

The situation raises significant questions about international law, national sovereignty, and the role of artificial intelligence in modern warfare and political instability. AI is increasingly used in military operations for tasks such as target identification, risk assessment, and autonomous weapons systems. The potential for AI to escalate conflicts or be used for political manipulation is a growing concern among international relations experts.

The concept of a "safe, proper and judicious transition," as described by Trump, is open to interpretation and raises questions about the future of Venezuelan governance. The U.S. has a history of intervention in Latin American politics, often with destabilizing effects. The long-term implications of this latest action remain to be seen.

The international community has reacted with a mix of condemnation and support. Some nations have criticized the U.S. for violating international law and infringing on Venezuela's sovereignty. Others have expressed support for the U.S.'s stated goal of promoting democracy and stability in the region.

The current status of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, is unknown. The Trump administration has not yet released details about their location or legal status. The next steps are likely to involve diplomatic negotiations and potential legal challenges to the U.S. action. The situation remains fluid and could have significant repercussions for the region and international relations.
