U.S. Captured Venezuelan President Maduro; Delcy Rodríguez Leads Interim Government
The United States launched a large-scale military operation in Venezuela resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. This operation, conducted in Caracas, led to Maduro facing federal drug trafficking charges in New York. The capture sparked international condemnation, with countries like China criticizing the intervention as a violation of sovereignty. Following the operation, President Donald Trump introduced the 'Donroe Doctrine,' a modern adaptation of the Monroe Doctrine, and the U. S. took control of Venezuelan oil assets.
In the aftermath, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez assumed interim leadership of Venezuela, systematically removing allies of Maduro from positions of power. Despite the opposition's marginalization, Rodríguez consolidated control amid concerns about Venezuela's democratic future. The situation escalated global tensions and raised questions about the legality and implications of the U. S. intervention in Venezuela.
