The U.S. military captured the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, during an operation carried out early this morning in the capital city of Caracas. At 1 a.m., residents of the city reported hearing explosions and aircraft. According to CNN, Maduro and his wife were sleeping in their bedroom when the Americans arrived to seize them.
At a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said that the U.S. would "run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition," adding in the question and answer session that "we're not afraid of boots on the ground" and that the focus would be on oil.
