America is at war with drug cartels, not with Venezuela, US secretary of state Marco Rubio has insisted, as military leaders in Caracas demand the release of Nicolas Maduro.
The Venezuelan president was captured in a dramatic US operation in the early hours of Saturday, with at least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft reported over the capital, before Donald Trump confirmed that elite Delta operatives had detained Mr Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
