Venezuela Under US Control? Maduro Captured, Trump Claims

Images have surfaced appearing to show Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro aboard a US warship, following what multiple sources are describing as a US military operation in Caracas. Former US President Donald Trump has publicly stated the US is poised to “run” Venezuela following Maduro’s capture, celebrating the development in a phone interview.

The veracity of the images and the extent of US involvement remain unconfirmed, though photos circulating online depict scenes of unrest and a perceived attack on the Venezuelan capital. Legal experts are already questioning the justification for any unilateral US military action in Venezuela. The situation is rapidly evolving, and international reaction is anticipated. Details regarding Maduro’s current status and the future governance of Venezuela are currently unavailable.
