🚨 Maduro's Mysterious Movements
Local media claims a plane carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, landed at a U.S. military base in New York on Saturday (January 3, 2026). Reports suggest they were detained during a large-scale operation—though neither government has officially confirmed this.
🇻🇪 Venezuela's Defiant Response
Vice President Delcy Rodríguez stated live on state TV today: 'President Maduro remains Venezuela’s only legitimate leader.' Her address comes amid growing tensions, with pro-government rallies reported in Caracas.
🗽 Trump's 'Transition' Plan
U.S. President Donald Trump announced at a Saturday press conference that America would 'run Venezuela until a safe transition' occurs—a statement already condemned by left-wing governments across Latin America.
🌐 UN Emergency Meeting
The UN Security Council will hold urgent talks Monday to address the crisis. Diplomatic sources say China and Russia are likely to challenge the U.S. actions.
