US EditionTrump Sets a Devastating Precedent in Venezuela: Analysis
The operation marks a shift in U.S. policy to enforce dominance in the Americas, with Maduro facing criminal charges in New York, according to the Trump administration.
- On January 3, President Donald Trump sent U.S. special forces to kidnap Nicolás Maduro, blindfolding and handcuffing him before flying him to New York to face criminal charges.
- The administration's 2025 National Security Strategy proposed a `Trump Corollary` to the Monroe Doctrine to reassert U.S. preeminence, with Trump framing actions as reclaiming authority over governments.
- Economic motives are underscored by promises to run Venezuela's oil industry and prior strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats and oil tankers, despite little evidence linking Maduro to major drug production.
- Multiple Latin American governments condemned the action, while legal critics say it violated the United Nations Charter and the U.S. Constitution, deeming it illegitimate.
- Analysts warn the move signals the U.S. may unilaterally depose leaders, while Trump on Saturday threatened military action in Cuba, Colombia and Mexico, raising regional escalation risks.
