Washington D.C. – The United States government announced it has successfully conducted a large-scale strike operation in Venezuela and claims to have captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. President Donald Trump made the announcement, stating that Maduro and his wife have been “captured and flown out of the country,” though details regarding the operation's specifics remain scarce.

The announcement, delivered with limited elaboration, has sparked immediate international concern and scrutiny. No further details were provided regarding the nature of the “large-scale strike,” the location of the operation within Venezuela, or the circumstances surrounding Maduro and his wife’s capture. The White House has not released any official statements beyond Trump’s initial declaration.

The situation in Venezuela has been fraught with political turmoil for years. Maduro's leadership has faced widespread condemnation from the international community, including the United States, due to allegations of human rights abuses, corruption, and authoritarian practices. Juan Guaidó, recognized by the U.S. and numerous other countries as the legitimate interim president of Venezuela, has previously called for Maduro's removal from power. However, Maduro has remained in control, supported by the Venezuelan military.

The reported U.S. intervention raises significant legal and diplomatic questions, potentially violating international law concerning sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of another nation. The move is likely to draw strong reactions from regional powers and the United Nations. Further developments are expected as the situation unfolds, and independent verification of the claims made by the U.S. government is urgently needed.
