'Grow a spine!' Calls for Trump to be impeached grow following Maduro's arrest

Calls for President Donald Trump to be impeached following the administration's arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife grew louder on Sunday.

Flores and Maduro's son, Nicolas, are also named in the indictment, which the administration unveiled following Maduro's arrest. Following the move, Trump announced that the U.S. would "run" Venezuela for a transition period and didn't rule out sending U.S. military troops to the country.

Trump just gave countries worldwide the 'green light' for military invasions: analysis

The Trump administration’s repeated justification for capturing Venezuela's president has been that he was facing criminal charges from the United States, but one political commentator noted that by that same logic, President Donald Trump had just given countries the world over the “green light” to launch their own military invasions.
