1. Operation Details: The strike against Venezuela was executed in collaboration with U. S. law enforcement. Further details are expected during a news conference at Mar-a-Lago today.
2. Reactions: There is widespread coverage following the news, with legal expert Jonathan Turley commenting on the situation.
3. Legal Context: Maduro, alongside several high-ranking members of the Venezuelan government and military, faces serious charges, including narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine.
4. Political Responses: Democrats have expressed anger over Trump’s unilateral military action, arguing it lacked congressional authorization and was not supported by the majority of Americans. They criticized the use of funds for military action instead of healthcare.
