By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): U.S. Senator Mike Lee has claimed that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel and will face criminal charges in the United States.
According to Lee, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed him that Maduro was taken into custody as part of a law enforcement action and is expected to stand trial in the U.S. Lee further stated that recent military strikes were carried out to “protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant.”
The senator added that Rubio anticipates no further U.S. action in Venezuela, now that Maduro is reportedly in U.S. custody.
As of this report, there has been no official confirmation from the U.S. State Department, the White House, or Venezuelan authorities regarding Maduro’s arrest or the charges he is expected to face.
If confirmed, the development would represent an unprecedented moment in U.S.–Venezuela relations and could have far-reaching international consequences. The situation remains fluid.
