No evidence has been provided of Venuzuela playing a major role in drug trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Saturday&#8217;s attack, President Maduro and his wife were kidnapped and taken out of the country to an unknown location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hidnetwork.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/AA-20260103-40151854-40151853-VENEZUELAN_PRESIDENT_NICOLAS_MADURO_ON_BOARD_THE_USS_IWO_JIMA-448x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-459\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima on January 3, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hours after the attack Bondi tweeted: &#8220;Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicholas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For weeks now, the US government has bombed several small vessels, killing dozens under the pretext of stopping the trafficking of drugs.  However, no evidence has yet been provided to back up the killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, many believe that the actions by the US are in response to the growing influence of Russia and China in South America.  Some have pointed to the vast oil reserves within Venuzuela and a desire by the US to control the supply of that strategic resource. These theories have been borne out by the recent release of the US&#8217;s National Security Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hidnetwork.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/AA-20260103-40147079-40147078-EXPLOSIONS_HEARD_IN_VENEZUELAS_CAPITAL_AMID_US_TENSIONS_REPORTS-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-439\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The weekend&#8217;s attacks strongly resemble past US interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Trump&#8217;s recent comment about Iran, suggest similar action may follow there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Washington &#8220;successfully&#8221; carried out a &#8220;large scale strike&#8221; against Venezuela, claiming that President Maduro and his wife have been captured and removed from the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country,&#8221; Trump said on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a brief written statement, Trump said that the operation was conducted \u201cin conjunction with U.S. law enforcement&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said additional details would be released later. He also announced that a news conference would be held at 11 am at his Mar-a-Lago residence in the US state of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the unwarranted attack has been condemned by several world leaders, many of whom have called for an urgent meeting of the United Nations. However, the UN has increasingly been relegated to the role of a &#8220;toothless tiger&#8221; unable to resolve tensions in several parts of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>President Donald Trump confirms the extra-judicial action against a backdrop of accusations that the US wants to topple the government
