Was Maduro captured?

Asked 1 day ago

Answer

U.S. President Trump claims U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife after large-scale strikes, but Venezuelan officials have not confirmed his capture and say his whereabouts are unknown. The Venezuelan government demands proof of life and calls the U.S. actions imperialist, declaring a state of emergency and vowing resistance. Reports of explosions and attacks are confirmed, but independent verification of Maduro's capture is lacking.
