US President Donald Trump announced the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro following military strikes in Caracas, claiming Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been sworn in as the new leader. The Venezuelan government rejected the action, declared a national emergency, and has not confirmed Maduro's capture or Rodriguez's swearing-in. Rodriguez, next in line constitutionally, called for national unity and rejected foreign interference, speaking with Russia's Foreign Minister. Trump stated the US would be heavily involved in Venezuela's transition of leadership.
