Trump Praises US Military For Historic Maduro Takedown, Says “Nobody Could Have Done That”
President Donald Trump praised the U.S. military for what he described as a historic and highly complex operation that led to the takedown of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Trump highlighted the scale of the mission - involving more than 150 aircraft and coordinated ground operations - and emphasized that no American service members were killed. He said the blackout of electricity across much of Venezuela signaled the precision and surprise of the operation. The president also used the moment to push for faster weapons production, warning defense contractors that delays are unacceptable and insisting the U.S. must maintain the world’s most advanced and lethal military capabilities.
