U.S. Strikes Venezuela; Trump Claims Maduro Captured

The United States has conducted military strikes inside Venezuela. The action was announced shortly before a statement from U.S. President Donald Trump. President Trump claimed that Venezuela's leader, President Nicolás Maduro, was captured. He also stated that Maduro was flown out of the country. The U.S. government has long opposed Maduro's administration. It recognizes opposition figure Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate leader. There has been no immediate independent confirmation of Maduro's reported capture. The situation in Venezuela remains developing.
