Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro captured and deported from the country. Donald Trump announced success
After months of threats from President Donald Trump against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the attack occurred. According to Reuters witnesses and photos circulating on social media, explosions, planes and black smoke could be seen in Caracas from 2 a.m. (0600 GMT) for about 90 minutes.
The Venezuelan government reported that attacks also occurred in the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira, prompting Maduro to declare a state of emergency and mobilize defense forces.
After many hours, it turned out what the main target of the attacks was. According to Donald Trump, the United States attacked Venezuela and captured its president Nicolas Maduro, who was deported from the country. He announced this through his Truth Social platform. He indicated that a press conference on this topic would be held on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Mar-a-Lago.
The United States has not intervened so directly in Latin America since the 1989 invasion of Panama to remove military leader Manuel Noriega from power.
The United States previously accused Maduro of running a “drug state” and rigging elections. The Venezuelan leader, who replaced Hugo Chávez and took power in 2013, said on Thursday that Washington wants to take control of its oil deposits, the world's largest, and deposits of rare earth metals.
