                                         Trump has repeatedly asserted that the United States will "run" Venezuela,

                                     despite its interim President Delcy Rodríguez insisting that no foreign power

                                                       was governing her country.

                                                  The post, which has been liked more than 24,000 times, is the latest in a string of claims

that Trump and Washington are in charge of the South American country following the 3

January capture of Nicolás Maduro.

In a lightning overnight military operation led by US special forces, Maduro and his wife

were taken from their Caracas compound and flown back to the United States.

"Only time will tell" how long Washington would demand direct oversight of the country of

some 28.5 million, said in an interview with The New York Times.
