Overview

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson said the United States is not at war, citing no U.S. troop presence in Venezuela and a War Powers report due within 48 hours.
  • Brazil’s ambassador at the OAS labeled the capture a “seizure” and a grave affront to Venezuelan sovereignty, sharpening regional diplomatic pushback.
  • In New York, Nicolás Maduro faces SDNY charges including narcoterrorism and cocaine import conspiracy, and he pleaded not guilty on Monday.
  • Delcy Rodríguez is acting as interim president with military backing, Caracas remains tightly controlled, and Venezuelan officials report at least 58 deaths from the strikes.
  • Fact‑checkers tracked AI‑generated images and miscaptioned videos about the capture to more than 14 million views on X, as tests showed major tools producing convincing fakes despite stated safeguards.
