U.S. announces capture of Venezuelan leader Maduro, Trump says U.S. will 'run' Venezuela

The United States announced it has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. President Donald Trump said the U.S. would 'run' Venezuela, and threatened Maduro's deputy, Diosdado Cabello, with a 'hard price' if he did not 'do the right thing'.

U.S. officials said they would not govern Venezuela. Senator Marco Rubio framed the move as a warning to other countries like Russia and Iran. The action has raised legal questions and drawn criticism from some U.S. Democrats, who called the attack 'insane' and floated retaliation.
