Donald Trump Claims Capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and His Wife
Donald Trump, President of the United States, confirmed his country’s attacks on Venezuela and announced that Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, along with his wife, have been detained. He described the operation as “extensive and successful.”
Trump claimed that the detainment followed the U.S. attack, and that Maduro and his wife were airlifted out of Venezuela. Without providing further details, he reiterated the occurrence of both the attack and the capture of the two individuals.
Meanwhile, sources within the Venezuelan opposition told Sky News that, in their view, the arrest of Nicolás Maduro was part of a “negotiated exit”; a claim that has not yet been independently verified.
Venezuela, a nation in northern South America, has faced extensive political and economic crises in recent years, and these latest developments could have significant regional and international repercussions.
