Washington — The Trump administration this week captured Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, during a surprise U.S. incursion into Caracas and transported him on a U.S. warship to New York to face narcoterrorism conspiracy charges. Overnight explosions accompanied the operation, reports say. Legal scholars told reporters the seizure, and statements that the United States will 'run' Venezuela until a transition, raise questions about international law, extradition norms and the legality of unilateral incursions. The U.S. previously undertook maritime interdictions and seizures near Venezuela. Investigations and legal reviews are underway. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
