President Donald Trump has asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to lead the process to implement economic and political reforms in Venezuela and the US believes it is getting “full, complete and total” cooperation from the government in Caracas after the capture of Nicolas Maduro, White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said on Monday.

Trump requested Rubio “under the president's close guidance and direction, to be the lead on this process”, Miller told reporters at the White House. The secretary of State will lead a team that includes officials working on energy, financial, and military policy, he added.
“It’s a big team, a group of people — everybody's working great and closely together,” Miller said.
The White House has provided few details of how exactly it plans to administer Venezuela following the daring raid to capture Maduro, who pleaded not guilty on Monday to US charges in a narco-terrorism case against him.
