In a dramatic turn of events, US forces have captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife during a military strike. They were flown to New York and are now facing serious charges, including drug-related crimes. President Trump has declared that the US will temporarily run Venezuela and plans to involve American oil companies in repairing the country's damaged oil infrastructure.
This action has sparked international controversy. While some US allies have cautiously supported the move, many countries, including Russia and China, have strongly condemned it as an act of aggression against a sovereign nation. Latin American countries have also expressed their disapproval.
The situation in Venezuela remains uncertain, with the country's vice president insisting that Maduro is still the legitimate leader. As tensions rise, the international community watches closely to see how this unprecedented situation will unfold and what it means for Venezuela's future.
