AI Summary

In a dramatic military operation, US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from his home in Caracas. The operation, which took months to plan, was authorized by President Trump just before Christmas, culminating in a raid that took place late at night. Trump's decision marks a significant shift in US foreign policy, as he indicated the US would take control of Venezuela's governance and potentially increase military presence if necessary. The operation was supported by a covert CIA team that had been monitoring Maduro's movements for several months. This event raises concerns among lawmakers about the long-term implications for US national security and the political consequences for Trump, whose approval ratings are low.
