According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Maduro has been indicted in New York on drug and weapons charges, and he will “face the full force of American justice on American soil in American courts.”
In response, Venezuela declared a national emergency, condemning what it described as “extremely serious military aggression.”
Trump remarked, “We will manage the country until a safe, proper, and careful transition can be made. We want to avoid a situation where someone else ends up in the same predicament.”
