The U. S. has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and taken him out of the country, according to President Donald Trump.
This marks a significant military action, as the U. S. has not intervened directly in Latin America since the 1989 invasion of Panama.
Trump stated that Maduro and his wife were taken in a large-scale strike, but the Venezuelan government has not confirmed this.
The U. S. accuses Maduro of running a “narco-state” and rigging elections, while Maduro claims Washington seeks control over Venezuela’s oil reserves.
