Deranged Trump's latest 'victory': having Venezuela's leader removed for one from Europe (7)

I believe the answer is:

cypriot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'europe' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'deranged trump's latest victory having venezuela's leader removed for one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'for' could be 'pro' (as in being 'pro' or in favour of something) and 'pro' is found within the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cypriot that I've seen before include "One from Paphos, say" , "One from Larnaka, say" , "Nationality of citizen of Nicosia" , "Eg, a native of Nicosia" , "Mediterranean islander" .)
