WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump said in an interview with the NBC News broadcaster that he is ultimately in charge of the further developments in Venezuela.
"Me," he said when asked the question.
Trump also said that no elections would be held in Venezuela within the next 30 days.

"We have to fix the country first. You can’t have an election. There’s no way the people could even vote... No, it’s going to take a period of time. We have to nurse the country back to health," the president added.
