U.S. forces have detained Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
U.S. forces have detained Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife following a targeted operation in Caracas, according to confirmation from President Donald Trump. The operation reportedly involved coordinated air and ground tactics and resulted in Maduro being taken into U.S. custody.
U.S. officials say Maduro will face longstanding federal charges in New York related to alleged drug trafficking and connections to the Cartel de los Soles, accusations that have been pending for years.
The action comes in the aftermath of Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election, where independent vote tallies indicated a decisive victory for opposition candidate Edmundo González. The United States subsequently recognized González as the legitimate winner, rejecting Maduro’s claim to power.
Prominent opposition leader María Corina Machado described the moment as a turning point for the country, calling it Venezuela’s “hour of freedom.” Within the country, reactions were mixed—some citizens reportedly celebrated the development, while others expressed concern over foreign military involvement. International response has also been divided, with some governments questioning the legality and broader implications of the intervention.
