Breaking: US Captures Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Wife in Delta Force Operation, National Emergency Declared
US forces, reportedly including the elite Delta Force unit, captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife early on January 3, 2026, escalating tensions between the two nations. US President Donald Trump confirmed the operation, citing a successful strike, while details of explosions in Caracas circulated on social media.
The Venezuelan government, though not formally confirming Maduro’s capture, declared a national emergency and mobilized defense forces. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López urged citizens to remain calm and united against the “aggression,” warning that the US would not seize Venezuela’s resources.
The operation is seen as a significant geopolitical development, with Maduro previously indicted in the US for narcoterrorism. Trump had repeatedly threatened action against the Venezuelan leader prior to the raid.
This marks one of the most dramatic escalations in US-Venezuelan relations in recent years.
