Capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
The American military captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as a result of a military operation. This event has attracted the attention of the global community, as Maduro has been serving as president since March 5, 2013, when he won the general elections on April 14, 2013, defeating his opponent Henrique Capriles.
US President Donald Trump confirmed Maduro's capture on the Truth Social network. Trump noted that Maduro, along with his wife, was apprehended and taken out of the country as part of a joint operation with American law enforcement. He also reported on the conduct of a large-scale operation in Venezuela, as a result of which the country's leader was detained.
