US President Donald Trump frequently boasts about how much money the United States has taken from Venezuela.

Ever since the US military captured then-leader Nicolás Maduro in a brazen operation in January, major decisions about the country's future are being heavily influenced or made from Washington DC.

Some experts see it as a move towards colonial administration and have labelled Venezuela a US "protectorate in all but name".

A murky system of money movement has been implemented by the US too.

Mr Trump made it overtly clear after the raid that if she did not sufficiently bow to US pressure she could face the same fate as her former leader.
Attributed framing cues 1
Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.
