"US president likes a quick fix and a win and post-mission euphoria from Venezuela could hasten a decision on the Danish territory"
"President Donald Trump had attacked another sovereign country, and with the use of force, removed the Venezuelan president and first lady and flew them to America."
"Indeed, appearing in court in New York, Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores said they were "kidnapped" by the US."
In early January 2026 Washington, people stopped exchanging New Year greetings as events moved rapidly and the mood felt unusually hurried. President Donald Trump ordered and executed a forceful operation against Venezuela, removing President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores and flying them to the United States. Maduro and Flores appeared in a New York court and described their seizure as a kidnapping. The operation generated a surge of post-mission euphoria in Washington that could increase appetite for quick, decisive actions and hasten political decisions regarding a Danish territory.
