150 military aircraft and just 30 minutes: How the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife in their fortress? Trump stated, ‘identical..’

In a significant development, General Dan Razin Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Saturday (local time) said that “Operation Absolute Resolve” to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife was “discreet, precise”. The name for the mission was Operation Absolute Resolve, as stated by the United States. The operation involved months of planning.

How did the US capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife in their fortress?

Following the successful implementation of this operation, President Doland Trump stated that Venezuela would be “run” by the United States until a political transition takes place.

More than 150 aircraft took part in this mission, including F-18, F-22, F-35 fighter planes, as well as B-1 bomber planes, and drones. At 10:46 p.m. (Eastern Time), President Trump approved this operation. By 1:01 a.m. (Caracas Time) (2:01 a.m. local) American forces had landed on Maduro’s compound for this operation. Caracas (Venezuela) is where President Maduro was reportedly living within a fortress-like secure site — a fully fortified area. President Trump indicated that American Forces had practiced for months at an actual replica of that fortress-like palace.  “They actually built a house which was identical to the one they went into with all the same, all that steel all over the place,” US President Trump said.

President Doland Trump announced from Mar-a-Lago that when the operation took place, the lights in Caracas were turned off. The operation was a highly secretive and deadly mission. The commandos used “blowtorches” to cut through the doorways to the secure room space, but Maduro did not get an opportunity to enter a secure space. Within less than thirty minutes, Maduro had been captured. There were at least seven large blasts heard throughout the city of Caracas during this operation.

In an Interview from Fox News, Trump explained that “He was trying to get to a safe place. It was a very thick door, a very heavy door. But he was unable to get to that door. He made it to the door, he was unable to close it.” American commandos stormed Caracas’ high-security Fort Tiuna military compound, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife while they were asleep inside their residence.

Where is Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro now?

The US will be running Venezuela until an orderly transition of power occurs, as stated by President Trump. The timeline of the transition is unknown. Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured in Caracas and flown out of the country in a joint operation involving intelligence agencies and US law enforcement. US President Doland Trump said that Maduro and his wife, who were captured in Caracas during a US military operation, have been indicted on charges of alleged “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism conspiracies” in the Southern District of New York, and will face trial.

Trump said, “No nation in the world could achieve what America achieved yesterday or frankly, in just a short period of time. All Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless as the men and women of our military, working with US law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night.” “It was dark, and it was deadly, but he was captured along with his wife, Cilia Flores, both of whom now face American justice. Maduro and Flores have been indicted in the Southern District of New York,” he said.
