President Trump has said that the US response to the Venezuelan attack will set the tone for how the world views America. The President spoke with CBS News' Robert Costa on Thursday about the capture of Nicolás Maduro and what's next for Venezuela, as well as the implications for US foreign policy.
Trump described the situation in Venezuela as a "total disaster" and said that the US has to do something to stop it. He also suggested that the country is facing a crisis with its leader missing and no clear direction on how to move forward.
The President's comments come as tensions between the US and Venezuela continue to rise, with Washington accusing Maduro's government of human rights abuses and corruption. The situation in Venezuela has sparked international concern, with many countries calling for a peaceful resolution.
Trump also addressed the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, saying that "we have to be tough" when it comes to dealing with Iran. He vowed to continue supporting Israel and to take action against any country that poses a threat to US security.
The President's remarks were seen as an attempt to reassure allies of his commitment to US foreign policy, particularly in the region. However, critics have accused him of using the situation in Venezuela to promote his own agenda and distract from other pressing issues.
Regardless of the intentions behind Trump's comments, the situation in Venezuela remains a pressing concern for many countries around the world. As the crisis deepens, it is unclear what the future holds for the country or its people.

The US "rescuing" Venezuela sounds like just another example of trying to impose their will on another country. I'm not sure if Nicolás Maduro's disappearance is really as bad as Trump makes it out to be... maybe he just needed a vacation or something? 
And what exactly does "we have to be tough" mean in the context of dealing with Iran? Sounds like a whole lot of saber-rattling to me. 
. We were just learning about international relations in class and how governments need to work together to solve problems. But Trump's comments seem so impulsive and it's making me think that diplomacy is not being taken seriously 
. As a student, I wish we could focus more on finding solutions rather than just blaming each other 
. The US has a responsibility to support countries in crisis, but doing it in a way that respects everyone's sovereignty is key 
.
He's talking tough on Venezuela but lets be real, what has US done to help the ppl there so far? 
We need some actual leadership here, not just a bunch of empty words 
And btw, Iran situation is getting outta control 
, more diplomacy and less bombing would be nice 
I think the US response to Venezuela should be handled carefully 
. The President's comments come across as a bit... heavy-handed 
, but at the same time, I can see why he'd want to assert US dominance 
.
. But on the other hand, we need to consider the human cost of this situation 
. The people of Venezuela deserve a peaceful resolution, not more conflict or division 
.
. It's easy to get distracted by all the noise and lose sight of what really matters 
and trump's trying to make a point about being strong but honestly it just feels like he's ignoring the root problems 
anyone thinking that's gonna solve anything is sadly mistaken 
And what's with the Iran thing? Can't we just try to talk it out instead of being all tough and stuff? 
.
That would be super messed up, you know? 
. The fact that he's using this situation to promote his own agenda and reassert US dominance is not lost on many observers 
.
. And what's with all these accusations against Maduro's government? It feels like they're just trying to justify their own foreign policy moves.
. The situation on the ground in Venezuela is dire, with many innocent lives at risk 
, rather than resorting to tough talk or military action 
, rather than creating more division and strife 
.
. We need to find common ground and work together for a more peaceful world 
.
.
I'm so worried about Venezuela right now!!! 
Like, have you seen the state of healthcare in the US lately?! 
Priorities, people! 
. I mean, come on, a "total disaster" doesn't exactly fill me with hope for the future of the country or its people. And what's up with accusing Maduro's gov of human rights abuses without actually offering any solutions? It feels like Trump is just stirring up drama to get attention away from other issues that need to be tackled 
.
.
. It's hard not to feel like the US is taking sides, but at the same time, you can see why we need to be involved. But Trump's comments always make me go "wait, what's his angle here?
