Over the weekend, President Donald Trump completely upended the global rules with an audacious “large-scale” strike against Venezuela, which led to the capture of its president Nicolás Maduro.
Trump ordered the attack and arrest in Caracas over the weekend as much of Washington was out of town for the Christmas holiday.
