US is in Venezuela for the long haul When asked how long he would be “running Venezuela”, Trump said it would be “much longer” than a year. Greenland was formerly ruled by Denmark – which still controls its foreign and security policies – and both countries are members of Nato. When asked whether his actions in Venezuela may set a precedent for China to invade Taiwan, Trump said he saw no similarities between the two scenarios. “He may do it after we have a different president, but I don’t think he’s going to do it with me as president,” Trump said. Trump told the Times that China, which has the world’s fastest-growing strategic nuclear force, should be included in a treaty that replaces New Start.
