Former President Donald Trump posted a striking image on Truth Social depicting Nicolas Maduro allegedly in custody aboard the USS Iwo Jima. The photo reveals Maduro wearing an eye mask and headphones, dressed in a grey tracksuit. Trump’s post came shortly after confirming a US military operation that resulted in the apprehension of Maduro and his spouse in Venezuela. The operation included multiple explosions heard in Caracas and low-flying planes.
Maduro was reportedly seized from his residence by Delta Force after refusing Trump’s call to surrender peacefully. The Venezuelan leader and his wife face charges in the US, including Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy. Additionally, the indictment lists accusations such as cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of firearms, and conspiracy to possess firearms.
Trump declared that the US would oversee Venezuela temporarily to ensure a smooth and secure transition process. He expressed intentions to rejuvenate Venezuela, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the well-being of its citizens. Trump hinted at the possibility of deploying US troops to manage the country during this transitional period.
