- A first federal court appearance in Manhattan is expected Monday, with Maduro facing long-standing U.S. conspiracy charges tied to narcotics and terrorism allegations.
- UN Secretary‑General António Guterres called the operation a "dangerous precedent" as the Security Council meets Monday; China and Russia issued formal condemnations.
