Washington, January 3: President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are aboard a U.S. warship and will face federal prosecution in New York. The announcement followed a large-scale U.S. military operation in Caracas early Saturday morning. Trump stated on Truth Social that Maduro was captured and "flown out of the country" in a joint mission with law enforcement. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the couple was indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges related to narcoterrorism. She vowed they would "face the full wrath of American justice." The strikes targeted key military infrastructure, including Fort Tiuna. While Venezuela denounced the move as "imperialist aggression," U.S. officials maintain the action was necessary to enforce long-standing criminal warrants.
