The Capture of a President: Nicolas Maduro: Who is next?

On January 3, 2026, the United States launched Operation Southern Spear, a rapid military campaign that included airstrikes in Caracas and a specialized ground raid by Delta Force. This mission resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who were subsequently transported to the United States to face narcoterrorism charges. President Donald Trump and other American officials framed the intervention as a necessary strike against a criminal "narco-state" following a disputed 2024 election. While some regional allies and domestic supporters praised the move as a victory for democracy, the action sparked intense global controversy. Adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran joined several Latin American neighbors in condemning the strikes as a violation of national sovereignty. The removal of Maduro has left Venezuela in a state of emergency, raising urgent concerns about a potential power vacuum or a transition toward new leadership.
