Trump sounds off on Venezuela's future, Taiwan's security and his aims for Greenland, days after operation to seize Nicolas Maduro

Just days after launching an unprecedented operation in Venezuela to seize its president and effectively take control of its oil industry, Donald Trump sat down with New York Times journalists for a wide-ranging interview that took in everything from international law, Taiwan, Greenland and weight-loss drugs.
