U.S. Forces Capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Overnight Raid
President Donald TRUMP announced that American special forces successfully apprehended Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro during a nighttime operation in Caracas. The raid temporarily disrupted power in parts of the capital before electricity was restored.
Trump stated the U.S. WOULD oversee Venezuela's transition, suggesting oil reserves could fund the operation. The move drew mixed reactions from Venezuelan officials, with some condemning the action while others appeared cooperative.
The President emphasized readiness to deploy additional troops if necessary to maintain stability, framing the intervention as being in Venezuela's best interest. This development marks a significant escalation in U.S. involvement in Venezuelan affairs.
