1st Picture Of Captured Venezuela President Maduro Shared By Trump

Caracas: US President Donald Trump has shared the first picture of captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump shared the picture on social media platform Truth Social, with the caption, “Nicolas Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.”

Along with Maduro, his wife Cilia Flores was also captured by the US Army. Trump claimed that the duo are currently on a ship and are being taken to New York. 

The picture comes after Vice President Delcy Rodriguez demanded that the US send an "immediate proof of life" of Maduro and Flores.

Maduro and his wife were reportedly dragged out of their bedroom by troops while they were asleep. This came amidst large-scale attack by the US Army on the South American country in the early hours of Saturday.

‘Maduro Will Face America’s Wrath': Trump

While addressing a press conference, Donald Trump said that Maduro and his wife will soon face the “full might of American wrath”. Calling Maduro a “dictator”, Trump stated that the people of Venezuela have suffered a lot. He added, “We are going to make the people of Venezuela rich and independent.”

Maduro has been indicted on several charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy into the United States, possession and conspiracy to possess machineguns and destructive devices in connection with those drug offenses. Trump has repeatedly accused Maduro of presiding over what he has described as a "narco-terrorist" government.
