President Donald Trump claimed that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country, heightening political uncertainty. Venezuela condemned the action as an imperialist attack, declared a state of emergency, and mobilised forces. The strikes have intensified regional tensions and raised concerns over global diplomatic fallout.
