Trump says US will 'run' Venezuela after Maduro capture
Nicolás Maduro is in US custody after being seized in a coordinated military assault on Venezuela, as Donald Trump declared that the United States will "run" the country pending a political transition.
US forces extracted the Venezuelan president and his wife Cilia Flores from their residence in Caracas in the early hours of Saturday. He was flown to the USS Iwo Jima and later transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Maduro faces charges in the Southern District of New York, including conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism and weapons violations.
