Transportation to New York

It was previously reported that Maduro and his wife were transported to New York as a result of a US special operation, and they will soon appear in court.

Political situation in Venezuela

It should be noted that power in Venezuela has officially passed to Maduro's closest ally. The country's Supreme Court mandated Vice President Delcy Rodriguez to lead the state amid the crisis on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Trump expressed the opinion that Rodriguez would be loyal to Washington, but she refused to obey the US, calling the Americans occupiers and their actions barbarism.

These events underscore the escalation of the situation in Venezuela, where political and economic crises have persisted for several years. Official charges against Maduro and his wife could be an important step in the further development of international relations and a possible change of power in the country. Observers are awaiting the reaction of the Venezuelan people and the international community to these events.
