During the night in Venezuela, the United States Government launched strikes on the capital city of Caracas and captured the leader, Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social that ‘large scale’ strikes were carried out on the South American nation, and that Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores were flown out of the country.
The invasion was carried out because Trump wants Maduro to ‘finally face justice’ for drug trafficking charges brought against him by the USA.
The full statement from Trump on Truth Social can be read below:
“The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country.
“This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
