The White House, under President Donald Trump, issued a strong message to the world using the acronym FAFO, meaning "f'd around and found out." This statement followed the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a U.S. operation. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Maduro had multiple opportunities to avoid the outcome, emphasizing Trump's seriousness about American deterrence and preventing illicit activities from reaching U.S. soil. The message conveyed that playing games with this administration leads to negative consequences.
