US seizes Venezuelan president Maduro

The arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores by US military forces in Caracas marks a dramatic shift in international relations, leading to charges of narco-terrorism and conspiracy in New York courts. This geopolitical event centers on the phrase "fate lies with," illustrating how the future of both Maduro and Venezuela now depends entirely on the decisions of the US judicial system and the Trump administration. The legality of this seizure under international law remains a "thorny" issue, representing a complicated problem with no simple resolution. Furthermore, the ripple effects of this intervention have "plunged into uncertainty" the Western military alliance and regions like Greenland, causing a sudden state of worry regarding future US interventions in countries such as Iran and Mexico. These developments highlight the tension between claims of illegitimate leadership in Venezuela and the potential violation of global legal standards.
