===== 🟥 Yes — the U.S. government says Nicolás Maduro was captured =====
* U.S. President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces carried out a major military operation in Venezuela early on January 3, 2026, and that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and flown out of the country. Reuters<ref>{{cite web|title=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-us-has-captured-venezuela-president-maduro-2026-01-03/|publisher=reuters.com|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
* Trump and U.S. officials have said Maduro has been brought to the United States—in or near New York—to face federal charges related to drugs, terrorism and other alleged crimes. AP News<ref>{{cite web|title=AP News|url=https://apnews.com/article/85041a1ec03bafe839b785a95169d694|publisher=AP News|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
* Trump also stated the U.S. might “run” Venezuela temporarily as the transition process is organized. The Independent<ref>{{cite web|title=The Independent|url=https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/venezuela-trump-maduro-captured-attack-new-york-live-updates-b2894099.html|publisher=The Independent|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>

===== 🟥 This is a highly controversial and unprecedented event =====
* Many international leaders, human rights experts and legal scholars have criticized the operation, arguing it may violate international law and norms because it involved arresting a sitting head of state without clear international or Venezuelan consent. The Guardian<ref>{{cite web|title=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/03/is-there-any-legal-justification-for-the-us-attack-on-venezuela-trump-maduro|publisher=The Guardian|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
* Venezuelan government officials, including Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, have disputed or demanded proof of life and challenged the legality of what happened. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delcy_Rodr%C3%ADguez|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>

===== 🟡 What’s not fully clear yet =====
* Independent verification from third-party international observers is still lacking in some areas, so some details remain unconfirmed outside official U.S. and Venezuelan statements.
* The legal and diplomatic ramifications are just beginning to unfold.

In short: according to major news reports and official U.S. announcements, Trump’s administration claims Maduro has indeed been captured and taken into U.S. custody—a dramatic and highly disputed development in world politics. Reuters<ref>{{cite web|title=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-us-has-captured-venezuela-president-maduro-2026-01-03/|publisher=reuters.com|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
