Capture of Nicolas Maduro

The United States has announced the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Al Jazeera, through its reporter Teresa Bo, analyzes Maduro's political career and how his relationship with the United States has come to define his leadership.

While details regarding his capture remain unclear, images of Maduro were circulated a few hours prior to the official announcement. This coincides with an escalation of American attacks on Venezuela, with statements from Donald Trump hinting at a drastic military strategy in the region.

A Venezuelan journalist described the moment when "targeted airstrikes" took place, adding that the events on the ground were overwhelming, with footage showing damage caused by explosions.
