United States President Donald Trump has announced the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on charges of organized crime, amid a US-led operation to oust the Venezuelan leader from power. In a statement, Trump claimed that the US military had conducted a remarkable operation in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, with a stunning display of the country’s air, land, and sea forces.
According to Trump, Maduro was taken into custody and is being transferred to New York, along with his wife, Cilia Flores. The US President stated that the operation was a demonstration of the country’s military might, and that the US would continue to support the Venezuelan people until they achieve a transfer of power.
Trump also revealed that the US had planned a second phase of airstrikes, similar to the ones that targeted Iranian nuclear facilities and killed top Iranian officials, including Qasem Soleimani and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The US President claimed that the operation was a success, with all targets hit accurately.
The operation, code-named “Operation Liberty,” was carried out with the help of the US military’s special forces, who infiltrated Caracas under the cover of darkness. According to Trump, the operation was carried out without any loss of life or damage to military equipment.
However, the Venezuelan government has denied the reports, with Vice President Delcy Rodriguez stating that she had no knowledge of Maduro’s whereabouts and that there was no evidence of his capture.
The US move has been widely condemned by other countries, including Russia, Iran, Colombia, and Cuba. The CIA’s role in the operation has been revealed by the New York Times, which reported that the agency had been involved in the planning of the operation since December.
Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has vowed that the country will not surrender and will not engage in negotiations with the US. Meanwhile, the US has imposed sanctions on Maduro and his top officials, freezing their assets and restricting their travel.
The operation has also sparked a wave of protests and demonstrations in Venezuela, with many calling for Maduro’s ouster. The country’s opposition leader, Juan Guaido, has hailed the US operation as a victory for the Venezuelan people.
In other news, protests in Iran have subsided, with the demonstrations now limited to a few cities in the country. The US has announced that it will provide internet services to Venezuela for free, starting from February 3.
