Editorial note: As this unfolds and more details are made known, pray for a wave of freedom to sweep Venezuela, Iran and other countries that currently are in ruled by dictators and regimes.
From Breitbart: U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been “captured and flown out of the country”, a message that came after a series of explosions hit Caracas.
“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 done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement,” President Trump said in a Truth Social statement. He added that further details would follow at a press conference to be hosted later today at Mar-a-Lago.
President Trump’s bulletin comes hours after a series of apparent airstrikes hit several locations across the capital city of Caracas and other regions of Venezuela.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a copy of Trump’s Truth Social post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Maduro, who has maintained himself in power through a series of sham presidential elections, is actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges. The U.S. has an active $50 million bounty on information leading to Nicolás Maduro’s arrest and/or conviction. . . .
U.S. courts accused Maduro in 2020 of being a leading figure, if not the leader of, the Cartel of the Suns, an international cocaine trafficking operation led by top members of the Venezuelan regime that for years sought to “flood” the United States with cocaine to harm its people.
Epoch Times reports, “President Donald Trump said on Jan. 3 that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken with Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who he said agreed to cooperate with Washington as the United States moves to oversee the country’s political transition following President Nicolas Maduro’s capture.
Trump told a press briefing in Washington that Rodriguez, who he said was sworn in as president after the U.S. operation, held a lengthy conversation with Rubio and indicated she would comply with U.S. demands.”
