In an audacious military maneuver, President Donald Trump commanded U.S. forces to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a covert operation, details of which were revealed on 'Fox & Friends Weekend' and a subsequent news conference. Maduro was seized from his heavily-guarded presidential palace on Saturday morning.
General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, highlighted the months of rigorous planning in place leading up to the operation, codenamed 'Absolute Resolve.' Over 150 aircraft participated in the mission, which resulted in injuries but no fatalities among American troops.
The operation marks a significant escalation in U.S. actions against Venezuela, following a series of military strikes on drug-related vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific. The capture intends to bring Maduro to face narco-terrorism charges in New York.
