Trump Brags About Maduro Capture, Highlights Zero US Casualties

US President Donald Trump has praised the military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, highlighting that no US personnel were killed in the process. According to Trump, the operation was a “big success” and a testament to the capabilities of the US military.

The operation, dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve”, involved a nighttime raid on Maduro’s compound in Caracas, with US forces using helicopters, fighter jets, and surveillance aircraft to overwhelm Venezuelan defenses. Trump described the safe house as a “heavily fortified military fortress” and claimed that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were trying to escape to a safe room when they were caught.

According to the White House, Maduro is now in US custody and will face trial on drug and weapons charges. The Trump administration has been ramping up pressure on Maduro’s government, imposing sanctions and blockades on Venezuelan oil exports.

Trump’s comments on the operation have sparked debate, with some questioning the legality and wisdom of the move. However, Trump has defended the action, saying it was necessary to protect US interests and combat narcotics trafficking.

The situation in Venezuela remains uncertain, with Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, assuming the role of acting president and calling for cooperation with the US. The international community is divided on the issue, with some countries condemning the US action as aggression.
