US Captures Venezuelan President Maduro, Faces International Scrutiny and Legal Debate

The U.S. military has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a pre-dawn raid, bringing them to New York to face charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. President Trump stated the U.S. would "run" Venezuela until a transition, though Secretary of State Rubio clarified this means enforcing an "oil quarantine" for leverage. Allies like Russia and China condemned the action as a violation of international law, while the UN Secretary-General views it as a dangerous precedent. Venezuela's military recognized Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as acting president, who vowed unity behind Maduro.
