Re-affirming comments made by Donald Trump on Sunday, Miller said that the US is “in charge” of the country and that it needs US “permission” before making decisions on the economy. This came in the wake of US air strikes on Venezuela on Saturday and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro, a move which experts have questioned as a violation of international law.
