BREAKING: U.S. Forces Capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro

In a spectacular and historic military operation early Saturday, U.S. forces have arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, after a large-scale strike on important sites in Caracas and other parts of Venezuela. U.S. officials say the operation was a success. It is one of the most important direct acts the U.S. has taken in Latin America in decades. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said that Maduro and Flores were arrested during the overnight raid and then flown out of the nation on a warship to be held by the U.S. Trump added that the operation was carried out “with precision” and that it included coordinated airstrikes and ground actions. The strike, which included explosions across Caracas in the early hours of Saturday, targeted military installations and critical sites. Officials in the U.S. have said that the mission is a joint effort between the military and the police. The U.S. has long accused Maduro of being involved in drug trafficking and narco-terrorism. He is now facing criminal charges in the U.S., including accusations related to cocaine trafficking and other significant crimes included in a Southern District of New York indictment. People all over the world are shocked by the news. Some politicians in the U.S. and leaders of the Venezuelan opposition called the capture a historic step towards change. Others, including voices from around the world, have raised questions about its legitimacy and what it means for Venezuelan sovereignty and regional stability.
