President Donald Trump took advantage of his appearance this Saturday, January 3, to talk about the capture of Nicolas Maduro, which occurred early this morning. During his address, delivered from Mar-a-Lago, he defined the Venezuelan leader, who will be transferred to New York after being indicted on drug trafficking charges, as a dictator and terrorist. "The dictator and terrorist Nicolas Maduro has finally been overthrown in Venezuela. The people are free," the US president shared in a portion of his speech. In the same message, I have offered words of encouragement to Venezuelans abroad, especially those who have found a second home in the United States. "We are going to make the people of Venezuela rich, independent, and secure, and we are going to make many Venezuelans living in the United States very happy. They have suffered. They have been deprived of much. They will suffer no more," he declared from Florida. In addition to discussing the capture of Nicolas Maduro, Donald Trump also emphasized that Congress was unaware of the operation, fearing that details would be leaked. 'Absolute Resolution,' as he dubbed the operation

“Congress has a tendency to leak information. It wouldn't be good if they leaked information; I think the outcome would have been very different,” Trump stated at his press conference.

The president's actions caused unease in Congress, as Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego made clear, calling Trump a “global bully” for the way he handled the capture operation carried out in Venezuela.

He also received a response received from Jim McGovern, who condemned the operation, which lacked the support of both Congress and the public. “Without congressional authorization, and with the vast majority of Americans opposed to military action, Trump launched an unjustified and illegal attack against Venezuela,” he condemned.
