Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been taken into custody and removed from the country following a US military operation, announced by President Donald Trump. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Maduro will face trial in the US. Maduro assumed power in 2013, facing economic collapse, hyperinflation, and shortages, leading to mass emigration. His presidency was marked by political unrest and contested elections, with opposition leader Juan Guaidó previously being named interim president.
