USA Attacks Venezuela: Maduro Declares State of Emergency and Arrested According to Trump

US Attack on Venezuela

According to Главком: The USA attacked Venezuela, leading to a strike on the parliament building. In response to these actions, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro signed a decree declaring a state of emergency. Donald Trump announced the arrest of Maduro, causing a wide resonance in the international community.

The attack on Venezuela occurred on January 3, 2026. According to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, the USA targeted 11 sites in Venezuela, including:

• La Carlota Airport
• Military garrison in Catía la Mar
• Fort Tiuna military base
• El Hatillo area
• Air Force base in Barquisimeto
• Private airport in Caracas
• Military helicopter base in Higuerote

After the attacks, a state of emergency was declared in Caracas to ensure safety.

International Reaction and Consequences

Interestingly, Nicolas Maduro met with Xi Jinping's envoy approximately 10 hours before the attack. This raised additional questions regarding the possible consequences of such a meeting in the context of further military actions. Meanwhile, the 'maximum pressure' campaign on Maduro's regime has led to oil tankers refusing to enter Venezuelan ports. As of early January 2026, at least seven large tankers changed course or stopped at sea, reflecting increasing tension in the region.

Thus, events in Venezuela continue to unfold, and the international community is closely monitoring the situation, which may have serious implications for the stability not only of the country but also of the entire South American region. The declaration of a state of emergency and the arrest of the president could provoke new conflicts and increase the risk of a humanitarian crisis in a country already suffering from economic difficulties and political instability.
