U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife were transferred by helicopter to the USS Iwo Jima, a U.S. Navy ship in the Caribbean. The ship is en route to New York, where Maduro is expected to face federal charges. Trump stated Maduro was offered a chance to surrender. Vice President JD Vance indicated Venezuela ignored offers for a deal, asserting Maduro's transfer demonstrates Trump's commitment to his word regarding drug trafficking and stolen oil.
