Trump escalates Venezuela tensions amid military and security disputes
The U.S. conducted a military raid in Caracas to capture Nicolás Maduro, resulting in the deaths of at least 24 Venezuelan security officers and 32 Cuban personnel, with the U.S. claiming no casualties among its troops. President Trump defended the operation against Democratic criticism, highlighting bipartisan support for Maduro's arrest on drug charges, while American public opinion remains divided. The event has raised concerns about potential U.S. expansionism in Latin America and regional stability.
