The United States, led by President Donald Trump, has captured Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro in a daring military operation. The initiative, hailed as a significant achievement, highlights Trump's bold approach to foreign policy, specifically targeting adversaries seen as threats to U.S. interests and stability in the region.

This development raises uncertain prospects for Venezuela, a nation already grappling with economic hardships despite its oil riches. The capture of the 'illegitimate' leader marked by drug trafficking allegations presents new diplomatic hurdles and strategic choices for U.S. involvement and international alliances.

Global reactions are mixed, with Europe wary of the military action while others, particularly in U.S. political circles, ponder Trump's next steps. The operation underscores a broader narrative of power dynamics and the U.S.'s role in hemispheric security amid challenges from nations like China and Russia.
