Donald Trump has dramatically escalated U.S. action against Venezuela, announcing the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a swift overnight operation in Caracas. After targeted airstrikes on key military and government sites, U.S. special forces reportedly extracted Maduro and flew him out of the country to face trial in the United States, sending shockwaves across Latin America. Washington says the mission aimed to dismantle drug trafficking networks and recover what it calls “stolen oil,” while Venezuelan authorities have condemned the operation as an illegal act of aggression and urged public resistance. Though limited in scale and not a full invasion, the operation marks the culmination of months of U.S. military buildup and pressure, raising a critical question: will Maduro’s arrest collapse his regime, or trigger deeper instability in Venezuela?
