The president took to Truth Social at 4:21 AM to disclose that the U.S. has successfully executed a large-scale strike against Venezuela, marking a significant escalation in U.S. foreign policy towards the nation.
Trump stated, “The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country.” This operation was reportedly conducted in coordination with U.S. Law Enforcement, underscoring the government’s direct involvement in this high-stakes maneuver.
The announcement comes as tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have been rising, with Maduro increasingly becoming a focal point for Trump’s administration. The implications of this operation are profound, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Venezuela relations and the potential for further military involvement in the region.
A news conference is scheduled for later today at 11 A.M. at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump is expected to provide additional details about the operation.

As the story develops, analysts and officials alike are urging caution, stressing the need for a clear articulation of U.S. objectives and the potential ramifications for both Venezuela and the wider region. The global community will be watching closely as more information becomes available.
Stay tuned for updates following the press conference and further announcements from the Trump administration.
