Venezuela in Turmoil: Maduro Reportedly Captured, Removed

Venezuela is experiencing a period of intense upheaval following claims by former U.S. President Trump that President Nicolás Maduro and his wife have been captured and removed from the country. The announcement, made during a public address, has triggered a wave of reactions and uncertainty.

Reports of explosions in Caracas surfaced concurrently with Trump’s statement, prompting the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela to issue a security alert, urging citizens to shelter in place. Images circulating online depict public reactions to what appears to be a U.S. military action.

The veracity of Trump’s claims remains unconfirmed by independent sources. The situation on the ground is fluid and details are scarce. The potential consequences of this action, should it be verified, are significant and could destabilize the region further. The future of Venezuela remains deeply unclear as international observers await further developments.
