Overview

  • President Trump gave the final authorization at 10:46 p.m. ET from Mar-a-Lago and monitored the mission in real time.
  • The joint operation deployed more than 150 aircraft from 20 bases to suppress air defenses and deliver extraction forces into central Caracas.
  • Maduro and Cilia Flores surrendered, were taken into U.S. custody, and were transferred to the amphibious ship USS Iwo Jima.
  • U.S. officials reported exchanges of fire in the capital, one American service member wounded in stable condition, and at least one helicopter hit but still operational.
  • U.S. briefings and independent verification cited strikes on La Carlota air base, Fuerte Tiuna, the port of La Guaira, and the Higuerote airfield to enable the withdrawal.
