More than 150 U.S. military aircraft were used in the operation to capture Venezuela’s Maduro, including stealth fighters and bombers

After months of growing military pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump ordered a brazen operation into the South American country to capture its leader and whisk him to the United States where his administration planned to put him on trial.

In a Saturday morning interview on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Trump laid out the details of the overnight strike, after which he said Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were flown by helicopter to a U.S. warship.
