Trump asserts U.S. control in Venezuela as Maduro appears in New York courthouse

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been captured by U.S. forces and brought to New York City, where they face charges including narco-terrorism and cocaine importation. The operation, involving 150 American aircraft and a secret CIA team, has sparked a heated debate in Washington regarding its legality, with President Trump asserting U.S. control over Venezuela and plans for American oil companies to exploit its resources. Democrats have criticized the lack of congressional consultation, while Republicans support the administration's actions.
