Share via WhatsApp
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are expected to be formally charged with criminal offenses in a New York court. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions and a recent, highly unusual intervention by the United States. Reports indicate Maduro was briefly detained aboard a US warship following events in Caracas.
The legal basis for the US actions remains a subject of intense debate. While the Trump administration has signaled a willingness to exert significant control over Venezuela, including statements about ‘running’ the country, the justification under international law is being questioned. Images circulating online depict public reactions to the events in Caracas, including what appear to be scenes following a US-led operation.
The specific charges against Maduro and Flores have not yet been publicly detailed, but the move represents a significant escalation in US policy towards Venezuela. The situation remains fluid and the long-term implications are unclear.
