The United States has taken unprecedented action by abducting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from Caracas on narco-terrorism charges, signaling a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy. President Trump's administration has asserted control over Venezuela, with plans for American firms to manage its oil resources and a dismissal of the opposition's credentials. This move is seen by some as a departure from Trump's initial promises to end foreign interventions and a challenge to the post-World War II international rules-based order.
