President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela.

      I’m not talking about the U.S. I’m simply clarifying that Venezuela is not a sovereign country. It hasn’t been since 2013 when its elections were rigged after Chavez died.
