Trump 2026: The Arrest of Maduro and a New Era of US Intervention in Venezuela

2 min readSource

In January 2026, the Trump administration successfully captured Nicolás Maduro in a surprise operation in Venezuela. The move has triggered global protests and a warning to Cuba.

Bound, blindfolded, and in US custody. The fall of Nicolás Maduro marks a radical shift in American foreign policy as Donald Trump enforces regime change in Venezuela through direct military action.

Venezuela Regime Change and the Arrest of Nicolas Maduro

The United States has orchestrated a swift overnight regime change in Caracas. According to visual evidence posted by President Trump himself, Maduro was captured by US forces and is currently being held in a detention facility. The operation, which lasted less than 24 hours, has left Venezuelans deeply divided as global protests erupt against what critics call an illegal abduction.

Trump’s Global Aftershocks and the Cuba Warning

The implications of the attack extend far beyond Venezuela. President Trump has already issued threats toward Colombia's president and declared that Cuba is next on the list. While supporters cheer the removal of a long-standing adversary, Senator Bernie Sanders and other global leaders have condemned the strike as a violation of international sovereignty.

The humanitarian impact of the sudden collapse of the Maduro administration remains uncertain as the US military maintains a presence in the region.
