US Special Forces Capture Maduro: Trump Announces "Temporary Control" Over Venezuelan Oil
RCARACAS, VENEZUELA — In a stunning escalation of regional tensions, United States special operations forces launched a "large-scale strike" on Caracas early Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.
Following the raid, President Donald Trump announced from Mar-a-Lago that the United States would temporarily "run" Venezuela to ensure a "safe, proper, and judicious transition" of power. Central to this intervention is the immediate takeover of the country’s energy sector, with Trump vowing to "get the oil flowing" and reclaim assets he claims were "stolen" from American companies decades ago.
"Operation Absolute Resolve"The military operation, reportedly involving Delta Force and CIA intelligence support, followed months of a "total and complete blockade" of Venezuelan waters.The Raid: Explosions were reported across the capital as U.S. forces targeted the presidential palace and military installations.

"Operation Absolute Resolve"The military operation, reportedly involving Delta Force and CIA intelligence support, followed months of a "total and complete blockade" of Venezuelan waters.The Raid: Explosions were reported across the capital as U.S. forces targeted the presidential palace and military installations.
The Capture: Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken into custody and are being transported to New York to face federal narco-terrorism and cocaine importation charges.
Casualties: While the White House described the mission as "extremely successful," Venezuelan officials reported that both civilians and service members were killed during the strikes. Reclaiming the OilIn a press conference following the operation, President Trump framed the intervention as an economic recovery mission as much as a political one. He asserted that Venezuela's oil infrastructure—the largest proven reserves in the world—rightfully belongs under American stewardship due to historical investments.
"We built Venezuela's oil industry with American talent, drive, and skill, and the socialist regime stole it from us," Trump stated. "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies... go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, and start making money for the country."
Global and Domestic ReactionThe move has sent shockwaves through global markets and the international community:
Oil Markets: Crude prices fluctuated wildly on the news, as traders weighed the potential for a massive influx of Venezuelan supply against the immediate instability of a U.S.-led occupation.
International Law: United Nations experts and several world leaders have denounced the blockade and subsequent invasion as a violation of the UN Charter, with some calling the seizure of oil assets "colonial plunder."
Congressional Pushback: Domestically, while many in the GOP lauded the move as a blow against "narco-terrorism," others expressed concern over the lack of a long-term exit strategy. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) noted, "The only country the United States should be 'running' is the United States."
