Operation in Venezuela
The USA conducted a large-scale operation in Venezuela, resulting in the detention of President Nicolas Maduro. The operation was meticulously planned and involved the participation of American military and intelligence. The detention was the result of actions taken at the highest level of American leadership.
The operation began on Saturday morning. According to information, Donald Trump made the decision to start the mission just four days before it took place. Over 150 aircraft were deployed for the tasks of the operation, which were based on 20 military bases in the Western Hemisphere. The aviation included:
- modern fighters F-22 and F-35
- strategic bombers B-1
Nicolas Maduro has been serving as the president of Venezuela since March 5, 2013, after winning the general elections on April 14 of that year, when he defeated his opponent Enrique Capriles. Maduro, along with his wife, was captured and taken out of the country as part of a joint operation with American law enforcement, as noted by Donald Trump. The US president personally monitored the events live from his residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Political Consequences
This event could significantly change the political landscape of Venezuela and the region, as Maduro's detention signifies the end of his 10-year rule. It is expected to trigger new political realities, as well as possible global consequences, particularly in relations between the USA and other Latin American countries.
It is also important to note that this operation underscores the intensification of US foreign policy in the region, which could affect international relations as a whole.
