U.S. Forces Seize Venezuelan President Maduro, Sparking Crisis
CARACAS, Venezuela – A dramatic turn of events has plunged Venezuela into further turmoil after U.S. forces reportedly captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a large-scale strike on Saturday. The Venezuelan Supreme Court has swiftly appointed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as interim leader to “guarantee administrative continuity and the comprehensive defense of the nation,” according to an official statement.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the operation, dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve,” on social media shortly after the attack occurred. Details of the operation remain scarce, but the Venezuelan government has condemned the move as an “imperialist attack” and called on citizens to protest.
The situation is rapidly unfolding, and the long-term implications for Venezuela’s political stability and relations between the two countries are uncertain. Further updates will be released as they become available.
