US: How Operation Absolute Resolve to arrest Maduro unfolded

The United States carried out a secret and complex operation, codenamed "Absolute Resolve," aimed at arresting the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife. The operation had been prepared for a long time, with detailed rehearsals and the creation of an exact replica of Maduro's residence. The CIA had deployed a team on the ground to monitor the president's movements. Donald Trump approved the operation, while a significant military force was concentrated in the Caribbean, presented as part of drug trafficking operations. The operation appeared to be carefully planned and involved the active participation of key Trump advisors.
