Trump’s comments aboard Air Force One contrasted with the diplomatic tone of Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez, who extended an invitation to work with the U.S.

Donald Trump stated late Sunday that “we’re in charge” of Venezuela, while warning its interim leader Delcy Rodríguez that she will fare “probably worse” than captured President Nicolas Maduro if she does not cooperate.

It was his latest threat to Rodríguez, the former vice president, who struck a more diplomatic tone as she extended an invitation to work with the U.S. “on an agenda of cooperation” and “within the framework of international law.”

Trump threatened military action against Colombia, drawing backlash from its president, but said there were no plans for immediate intervention in Cuba, predicting its government was “just going to fall.” He again outlined his desire to take over Greenland, drawing widespread pushback including from NATO ally Denmark, which governs the Arctic island nation.

    You’d think we’d reach some kind of embarrassment horizon with this guy but no. Still going.

    Even if the corporate news sewers weren’t complicit, no one wants to know.
