The US military operation, dubbed 'Absolute Resolve,' resulted in the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, drawing parallels to the 1989 capture of Panama's Manuel Noriega. Both leaders were indicted on drug trafficking charges. This action is seen as the first implementation of President Trump's 'Donroe doctrine,' an expansion of the Monroe Doctrine, asserting US military intervention in Latin America. While the UN Security Council issued no statement due to US veto power, deliberations reflected international condemnation of the action as a violation of international law and sovereignty.
