There are good reasons to celebrate the downfall of the tyrant Nicolás Maduro, as so many Venezuelan exiles did when they heard the news Saturday morning. Not among those reasons: an America that seizes Venezuela’s oil assets while keeping what’s left of Maduro’s odious regime in place.

That seems to be President Trump’s rationale, but who knows? He says one thing; his secretary of state says another.

Maybe it’s incoherence: Trump didn’t really know........
