文章引述美方说法称马杜罗及其妻子已在纽约联邦法院遭起诉，指控包含涉毒恐怖主义共谋，并称其利用权力向美国输送「数千吨」可卡因。报导提到美方曾悬赏5000万美元征求线索，并宣布对受制裁的涉委油轮实施「全面封锁」。在合法性上，部分共和党人以宪法第二条的固有权力辩护；民主党人则批评未获国会授权，且缺乏「翌日策略」以防局势失控。
文章把此次行动定位为自1989年美国入侵巴拿马后，首次以军事手段捕获／罢黜拉美领导人，并提及曼努埃尔·诺列加于1990年投降。报导还称先前在加勒比海与太平洋进行约三打船只打击，造成逾100人死亡。能源面，分析师警告冲突可能影响约80万桶/日的委内瑞拉出口；若政权更迭并解除制裁，出口或可回升至约300万桶/日（约3.75倍）。另称FAA已禁止美国商业航班进入委内瑞拉空域及加勒比部分区域。
The article claims U.S. forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and flew him out, with President Donald Trump saying Washington would run the country until a transition. It describes early-Saturday strikes on Caracas and says 150 aircraft took part, with multiple hits around 2 a.m. local time and claimed power outages. The raid was reportedly executed by Delta Force with CIA support, including a small CIA team on the ground since August.
U.S. officials are quoted saying Maduro and his wife were indicted in federal court in New York, with allegations spanning narco-terrorism conspiracy and thousands of tons of cocaine trafficking. The piece notes a $50 million reward and a total blockade on sanctioned oil tankers. It contrasts White House and Republican defenses under Article II with Democratic objections over lack of congressional authorization and uncertainty about a day-after plan.
It frames the operation as the first U.S. capture/deposition of a Latin American leader since Panama in 1989, when Manuel Noriega surrendered in 1990. It cites prior maritime strikes—about three dozen—killing more than 100 people. On energy, an analyst warns conflict could disrupt roughly 800,000 barrels/day of Venezuelan exports, while regime change could lift output toward 3 million b/d (~3.75×). The FAA reportedly banned U.S. commercial flights in Venezuelan airspace and parts of the Caribbean.
