President Donald Trump said today that US forces had captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro after launching a large scale strike on the South American country. He was captured along with his wife, and flown out of the Country.
Trump’s claim of Maduro’s capture comes two days after Maduro attempted to engage with Trump, offering cooperation on fighting drug trafficking and illegal migration.
However, trump’s stunning announcement follows months of steadily mounting US military and economic pressure on leftist leader Maduro and his country’s oil-export-dependent economy.
