"The United States has seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro after U.S. forces launched what President Trump called a "large-scale attack." Maduro and his wife were flown out of Venezuela, expected to be brought to New York. They've been criminally charged. Just before we recorded this, President Trump spoke, saying, "We are going to run the country until such time [as] we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition.""
"The U.S. attack has been widely criticized around the world. The Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wrote on X, "The bombings on Venezuelan territory and the capture of its president [cross] an unacceptable line. These acts represent a grave affront to Venezuela's sovereignty and yet another extremely dangerous precedent for the entire international community," unquote. Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack as a "clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations.""
