Overview
- The White House released custody footage showing Nicolás Maduro under DEA escort in New York after his capture in Caracas.
- Maduro and Cilia Flores were transported via U.S. military assets, landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base, were processed by the DEA in Manhattan, and are now held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
- Venezuela’s Supreme Tribunal of Justice said Vice‑President Delcy Rodríguez should assume the interim presidency, and she declared Maduro the only legitimate leader while rejecting U.S. control.
- China labeled the operation illegal and demanded the immediate release of Maduro and his wife, as the UN Security Council prepares to meet on the crisis on Monday.
- The Pentagon described air strikes on multiple targets with roughly 150 aircraft and helicopter insertions into Caracas; casualties remain unclear, and analysts expect short‑term upward pressure on oil prices.
