Trump Releases Photo of Maduro in Handcuffs, Claims US Control Over Venezuela

US President Donald Trump released a photo showing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in handcuffs, indicating US custody after a military operation. Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, was also detained.

Trump plans to temporarily govern Venezuela, citing a leadership vacuum, and aims to control the country's oil infrastructure. The move follows accusations of drug trafficking and using oil revenues for criminal activities.

Venezuela's vice president condemned the operation, demanding Maduro's release and asserting the country's sovereignty amid heightened security concerns.
