President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. conducted "large scale" strikes in Venezuela, claiming President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and "flown out of the Country." Trump stated the operation was in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement and announced a press conference. Venezuela's government condemned the action as "military aggression" and declared a state of emergency following reported explosions and low-flying aircraft in Caracas. There has been no independent confirmation of the capture.
