"President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been “captured and flown out of the country”, a message that came after a series of explosions hit Caracas.
President Trump’s bulletin comes hours after a series of apparent airstrikes hit several locations across the capital city of Caracas and other regions of Venezuela.
Maduro, who has maintained himself in power through a series of sham presidential elections, is actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges. The U.S. has an active $50 million bounty on information leading to Nicolás Maduro’s arrest and/or conviction.
The Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional reported that large swatches of Caracas remain without power as of early Saturday morning — with dozens of residents evacuating Fuerte Tiuna, Venezuela’s main military complex.
For years, Fuerte Tiuna was believed to house Nicolás Maduro’s personal bunker, among other important facilities of the rogue regime. El Nacional also stated that La Carlota, Venezuela’s main military airport, was hit by the strikes.
Brazil, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba rejected the US military action, with some calling for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
Trump: "The Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we’ve superseded it by a lot. They’re now call it the Donroe Doctrine, but I don’t know."
