Venezuela's Maduro in US Custody: Global Condemnation Rises

The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by US authorities has ignited a firestorm of controversy, drawing condemnation from political leaders worldwide. Maduro is currently in US custody, reportedly at a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) facility, following an operation the details of which remain closely guarded.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was among the first to publicly denounce the action, labeling it as “imperialist aggression” by the United States. The criticism extends beyond India, with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reportedly engaging in direct conversation with former President Donald Trump regarding the US military action.

Images circulating online show public reactions to Maduro’s capture, ranging from shock to protest. The incident is being described by some as an “act of war,” raising concerns about escalating geopolitical tensions. While US officials have yet to provide a comprehensive explanation, the move appears to be linked to drug trafficking investigations. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for significant diplomatic repercussions.
