President Donald Trump made a bombshell announcement in an early-morning social media post as he claimed that the United States has “captured” Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flown him to the U.S. following massive strikes on the Venezuelan capital.
News broke after midnight Friday that the United States struck Venezuela’s capital of Caracas early Saturday morning as a series of explosions were reported by multiple news outlets.
At 4:21 AM, Trump posted on Truth Social that Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were captured, and promised a press conference later in the day:
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. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The New York Times reported on reaction from inside Venezuela by that country’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello:
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello of Venezuela, considered one of Nicolás Maduro’s top enforcers, called for calm in televised remarks and urged Venezuelans to trust the leadership. “Let no one fall into despair. Let no one make things easier for the invading enemy,” he said. Cabello also said, without providing evidence, that bombs had struck civilian buildings.
The moves follow months of threats and strikes on alleged drug boats — including the September 2 airstrike that left two survivors who were then killed by a second strike — and the U.S. seizure of oil tankers. Last week, the CIA bombed a dock in the country in an operation that Trump blurted out during an interview.
Trump’s press conference at 11 AM will be held at the president’s Mar-a-lago resort.
