US Captures Maduro, Sparks Global Debate

US Captures Maduro, Sparks Global Debate

The US military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise operation.

He is now in a US jail facing serious charges.

The US says they won't run Venezuela but will keep pressuring the country to change its policies.

Venezuela's government is angry and says Maduro is their rightful leader.

Some people in the US support the action, while others are worried it might lead to a long and complicated involvement.

The US is also blocking Venezuelan oil ships and has a big navy presence in the area.

There were reports of many people dying in the attack, but the US says they had very few injuries.

Now, there's a debate about who will lead Venezuela next.

China and other countries are criticizing the US for this action, saying it's not right for one country to control others.

Meanwhile, Pakistan and China are talking about how to work together better.
