Maduro a 'violent guy', says Trump, calls US military op in Venezuela as 'amazing'

Washington, Jan 6 (UNI) US President Donald Trump reiterated his praise for the US military operation in Venezuela, calling it an amazing and brilliant military feat, and described Venezuela's former President Nicolas Maduro as a "violent" guy.
Talking about the US mission during remarks to Republicans at the Kennedy Center on Tuesday, Trump said: "It was an amazing military feat that took place."
“It was amazing. And think of it, nobody was killed. And on the other side, a lot of people were killed,” Trump said, noting the large number of Cubans who were killed in attacks. “They knew we were coming, and they were protected, and our guys weren’t. You know, our guys are jumping out of helicopters … it was so brilliant.”
