This week\u2019s editorial cartoons are dominated by the news coming out of Venezuela and Washington following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro by U.S. military forces to face U.S. drug charges. President Donald Trump\u2019s administration is working up a \u201csweeping plan\u201d<\/a> to take over Venezuela\u2019s oil production, the Wall Street Journal reported. Trump met Friday with executives of U.S. oil companies, saying they would invest at least $100 billion of their own money to revitalize the country\u2019s oil infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Drew Sheneman leads off with his view that oil is \u201cthe newest addictive drug flowing over the border.\u201d Jack Ohman and Bill Bramhall pick up the drug theme. Nick Anderson sees Trump\u2019s moves as the \u201cGrab-a-Piece\u201d prize. Dana Summers draws a stampede of oil execs into Venezuela. Pedro X. Molina shows a Venezuelan citizen silenced by the forces telling him what\u2019s best for the country.<\/p>\n

Trump also made overtures to take over Greenland, riling Denmark and alarming members of the NATO alliance. Mike Luckovich sees Trump drawing a bull\u2019s-eye on NATO\u2019s back, while David Horsey imagines Denmark pulling off a Maduro-like capture of Trump.<\/p>\n

Other topics in this week\u2019s gallery include Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s decision not to seek reelection after a scandal over federal childcare funding; the the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis; and the effect of free agency on college sports.<\/p>\n

Cartoons were drawn by Nick Anderson, Bill Bramhall, Phil Hands, David Horsey, Pedro X. Molina, Jack Ohman, Joel Pett, Drew Sheneman, Scott Stantis, Dana Summers and Joey Weatherford of Tribune Content Agency; and Steve Breen, Mike Luckovich and Michael Ramirez of Creators Syndicate. <\/p>\n
