"A lot of people still feel confused after President Trump's speech," Tomás (not his real name), a Caracas resident, tells me.

He's concerned about how "vague Trump and his team were about the plans of running Venezuela".

Tomás is impressed by the operation to oust Maduro and thinks the regime has brought it upon itself, but warns that his country now enters "the most dangerous stage".

He fears a peaceful transition might be tricky after "three decades of a fierce totalitarian regime".

And if there isn't a peaceful transition, it's "well known" what can happen, he says.
