Venezuela's political landscape is in turmoil as President Donald Trump claimed US forces captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, flying them out of the country. The announcement, made on Truth Social, described the mission as a "large-scale strike" against Venezuela's leadership-a move Trump called "brilliant" in an interview with the New York Times.
According to reports citing CBS News, Maduro was reportedly seized by Delta Force, the US military's elite unit. Republican Senator Mike Lee said Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Maduro would face criminal charges in the United States, with no further strikes expected.
Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, following a strike against Venezuela's leadership, which led to Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López ordering troop mobilization and global powers reacting cautiously.

Back home, uncertainty reigned. Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino López ordered troops across the country to mobilise immediately, calling the strike the "worst aggression" Venezuela had ever faced. Caracas denounced the US operation as an "imperialist attack," urging citizens to take to the streets, while Maduro's whereabouts remained unclear.
Global powers reacted cautiously. Spain offered to mediate, while Russia stressed that Venezuela's future must be decided internally, urging Latin America to remain a "zone of peace." As Maduro reportedly enters US custody, Venezuelan forces brace for an uncertain future, and the world watches a nation on the edge of a pivotal moment.
