The push comes around five months after US forces captured former President Nicolas Maduro

Tudares is one of more than 150 detainees who have been released since the US military seized Venezuelan leader, Nicolás Maduro, in a nighttime raid and took him to New York to stand trial on drug-trafficking charges

While many Venezuelans hoped that Edmundo González Urrutia would be installed as the new president or that new elections would be called, those possibilities now feel further away than ever

Norwegians Scandalized After Nobel Laureate Gives Trump Medal

US President Donald Trump on Thursday met Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, marking their first meeting

As the dust settles in Latin America after US President Donald Trump ordered the US Armed Forces to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and take him to a New York City jail cell to face accusations of narco-terrorism, multiple geopolitical “givens” have been called into question

While the Javier Milei administration wholeheartedly applauded last weekend’s seizure of Nicolás Maduro, only adjusting its stance to tone down support for opposition leader María Corina Machado in line with Donald Trump, there were reactions at other levels

Every morning in London, Delcy Rodriguez — Nicolás Maduro's vice president — would pick up her tube of toothpaste and berate it as a 'capitalist product.'

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wants to give her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump

Rodriguez was sworn in as the interim head on Monday after a US military operation led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who face federal narco-terrorism charges in New York

Ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was escorted out of a New York federal courthouse after pleading not guilty to narco-terrorism charges

Charged with 'narco-terrorism' among other things, deposed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were taken by helicopter to a New York court to face charges

The incident has left Cuban residents questioning what Maduro’s capture could mean for their future

President Trump spoke for nearly an hour on Saturday about why he launched a massive military operation to capture Venezuela’s dictator Nicolás Maduro and fly him to New York to face drug trafficking charges

His removal is seen as the most assertive US intervention to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and followed months of pressure from Washington

Following the devastating attacks on Venezuelan military bases and surgical apprehension of leader Nicolás Maduro by US Special Forces, Cuba seems very much in the Trump administration’s sights

The president also relied even more heavily on Cuban counterintelligence and bodyguards, more trusted than Venezuelans, with the latter not allowed to use mobile phones

As of Saturday evening, neither Machado nor González has commented publicly on Trump’s remarks
