‎”We Burn Down Venezuelan President’s Territory With 150 jets, Warships, Tanks; Play Game With America And End Up Like Maduro”__ US Warns World leaders
‎
‎
‎In an unprecedented military operation early Sunday, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in Caracas, the White House announced, dramatically escalating tensions between the two nations.
‎
‎The raid, ordered by President Trump, involved a coordinated assault on Venezuelan military installations and facilities, after months of sustained pressure and confrontations.
‎
‎Trump hailed the operation as a major victory in the fight against narcotics and what his administration calls the “narco-terrorist” apparatus led by Maduro, asserting that the U.S. had legitimate grounds to pursue regime leaders tied to narcotics trafficking.
‎
‎Maduro and his wife were flown to New York to face charges, and Trump declared the U.S. would temporarily run Venezuela until a “proper transition” could occur.
‎
‎The operation followed weeks of U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean, including deployments of warships, aircraft, and troops, and repeated American strikes on vessels and alleged drug trafficking infrastructure maneuvers that had already sharply heightened regional tensions.
‎
‎Global reaction was swift and largely condemnatory. Leaders in Latin America, Europe, and Asia denounced the U.S. action as a violation of international law and Venezuelan sovereignty.
‎
‎Brazil’s president labeled the strikes “unacceptable,” Mexico warned of regional instability, and China criticized the U.S. for blatant use of force. Some allies in the EU acknowledged concerns about Maduro’s legitimacy but stressed respect for international norms.
‎
‎Back in the United States, the intervention sparked a heated domestic debate. While traditional Republicans largely backed Trump’s decisive action, some conservative and libertarian voices questioned the expansion of military interventionism.
‎
‎Legal experts expressed concern over the absence of Congressional authorization and potential long-term entanglement. The situation remains fluid as both Caracas and Washington grapple with the repercussions of this historic confrontation.
