“This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
President Maduro had earlier described the US action as “military aggression” and declared a nationwide state of emergency.
The United States has for years alleged that Nicolás Maduro heads an international drug trafficking network, an accusation he has consistently denied.
