"The overnight attack in Caracas, ordered by President Donald Trump, led to the capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, who was subsequently transported to New York to face federal charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, weapons charges, and cocaine-importation conspiracy. Times journalist Mariana Martinez later reported that at least 40 military personnel and civilians were killed in the attack, based on a senior Venezuelan official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The figure was based on preliminary reports."
Major U.S. newspapers learned of an overnight operation to strike Venezuela shortly before it occurred and refrained from immediate publication to protect American troops. The operation captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who was taken to New York to face federal charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, weapons charges, and cocaine-importation conspiracy. A senior Venezuelan official speaking on condition of anonymity said at least 40 military personnel and civilians were killed; that figure was preliminary. President Donald Trump said the United States would run Venezuela temporarily and asserted that the U.S. would get oil flowing because America had built much of the industry there.
