Trump: Maduro and His Wife Transported to New York on a Ship. 'It Was Like a TV Show'

Donald Trump announced that Nicolás Maduro and his wife have been transported to New York by ship, following a military operation in Caracas where they were arrested by the American Delta team. Trump described the operation as a message to all, stating that he watched it live, as if it were a television show, and expressed his admiration for the speed and violence of the operation. He also stated that the US will be actively involved in the exploitation of Venezuela's oil resources. Trump mentioned that Maduro was arrested in a well-fortified place, describing it as a fortress, and revealed that he had warned Maduro to leave the country a week ago. He expressed the view that the next leader of Venezuela could be Machado, while noting that the country now has a new vice president. The announcement by Trump came hours after the operation, which caused international turmoil. Maduro's arrest marks a significant escalation in US policy towards Venezuela, which has long been in deep political and economic crisis. Trump emphasized that no other country in the world could carry out such an operation with the same efficiency, highlighting the superiority of the American military forces. The whole situation remains fluid and is expected to have significant consequences for the region.
