In the early hours of Saturday morning, U.S. forces entered Venezuelan territory and forcibly removed the country's head of state, Nicolás Maduro. There was no declaration of war by the United States.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was abducted by US special forces. He is to stand trial before a federal court in New York on charges of 'narcoterrorism conspiracy.' Donald Trump has announced that the US plans to 'run' Venezuela up until a 'proper transition' and to exploit its oil reserves.

U.S. President suggested Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as president of Venezuela, but no ceremony was broadcast
