Trump says US involvement in Venezuela could last for years

US President Donald Trump has said that his country's involvement in Venezuela could last for years.

He told the New York Times that "only time will tell" how long his administration will "oversee" the running of the South American nation following the capture by US forces of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in a raid on Saturday.

Trump also did not say if or when elections would be held in Venezuela to replace the interim government headed by Maduro loyalist Delcy Rodríguez.

Meanwhile, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said that Maduro's ouster had started an irreversible process that would lead Venezuela to freedom.

Trump told the NYT that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in constant communication with Rodríguez, who was appointed as Venezuela's interim leader by the country's Supreme Court, which is dominated by Maduro loyalists.

He added that Rodríguez is giving us everything we think is necessary.
