The United States overthrows President Maduro.

U.S. troops bombed Caracas and took President Maduro and his wife prisoners.  They are now facing trial in New York on charges of “narcoterrorism.” Trump declared that he will now “run” Venezuela and control its oil fields. World leaders condemned the military action as an act that violates international law. Analysts discuss the ramifications of this shocking action.
