Washington (Web Desk):
U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States carried out a “successful large-scale operation” against Venezuela, alleging that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were detained and expelled from the country.
In a post shared on social media, Trump asserted that the operation targeted Venezuela and its leadership and was conducted in coordination with U.S. law enforcement agencies. He stated that Maduro and his wife were taken into custody and transferred out of Venezuela, adding that further details would be released later.
Trump did not provide evidence to support the claim, nor did he specify when or where the alleged operation took place.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation from the U.S. government, Venezuelan authorities, or independent international sources regarding any such military or law-enforcement action.
Venezuela remains under the leadership of Nicolás Maduro, according to publicly available information, and no major international body has reported a change in the country’s political leadership.
Analysts note that any confirmed detention or removal of a sitting head of state would represent a major international development with significant geopolitical consequences.
