US President Donald Trump tells Fox News he watched the overnight capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife “literally like I was watching a television show”.

“If you would’ve seen the speed, the violence, it was an amazing thing,” Trump says.

He praises his team as having done “an incredible job” and adds “there’s no other country on earth that could do such a manoeuvre”. (BBC)
