President Trump via Truth Social, posted images of President Maduro captured on the USS Iwo Jima in the custody of DEA agents after Venezuela demands proof of life.
Amusingly, Donald Trump shared a video of helicopters flying unchallenged through Venezuelan skies, explosions in the background, set to "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Trump: "We are going to run the country"
Update - Trump has given a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, stating that the US will run the country now."we are going to run the country until a safe and judicious transition happens"
ZERO LOSS OF LIFE TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS!![]()
OVER 150 AIRCRAFT, B-1 BOMBER MENTIONED
Update #2 - SecDef Pete Hegseth lays out the operation, clarifying the complexity of the action with multiple branches of US Armed Forces assisting. Once Maduro was captured, retreating Delta Force operators and associated helicopters received fire, with one helicopter damaged (but functional) and two operators injured. All personnel and equipment exfiltrated successfully. Both Trump and Hegseth laud the complete success of the action.Hegseth: He fucked around and found out.
Update #3: Maduro and his wife have been moved to New York's Steward Air National Guard Base, presumably to be indicted in a state courthouse.
A plane carrying President Nicolás Maduro, and his wife Cilia Flores, has landed at New York's Stewart Air National Guard Base.
Journalists are using long-lens cameras in attempt to catch a glimpse of the pair leaving.
