TEAM VENEZUELA WINS ITS FIRST #WORLDBASEBALLCLASSIC!

DICTATOR CAPTURED: Venezuela's socialist leader, Nicolas Maduro, was taken into custody during an American military attack, President Trump said Saturday. Trump said the operation was conducted in conjunction with U.S. law enforcement, and added that a news conference will take place at Mar-a-Lago at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.

WATCH IN FULL: President Donald J. Trump's exclusive interview with @foxandfriends following the highly successful U.S. operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Surgery is not a last resource option but rather an alternative and adjunct to medical management in complex CD. Timing of surgical intervention and meds is crucial for improved outcomes. These meetings are a great strategy to better define plan of care.
