TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al-Mayadeen, the Wall Street Journal reported that US President Donald Trump has reviewed an intelligence report that shows that the Venezuelan opposition will face many problems in temporarily governing the country.

The best people to govern Venezuela in the transition period after Maduro are figures associated with the country's regime.

The report states that the issuance of this analysis and report was one of the factors that led Trump to support Maduro's deputy instead of Maria Machado, the head of the opposition.

The US military invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of the country's president, which is considered a violation of all international laws, have led to a wave of negative reactions in countries around the world.
