Top Venezuelan officials have denounced the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. They are calling it a "kidnapping."
Vice President Delcy Rodriguez led the condemnation. She was joined by other senior government figures.
This strong response creates a direct challenge. It opposes U.S. President Donald Trump's recent statement. He suggested the United States will "run" Venezuela.
The situation increases tensions between the two countries. The Venezuelan government is rejecting foreign intervention.
