Sad, President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro and his wife Clilia Flores have been kidnapped and flown out of Venezuela by the United States on 3 January, 2026. It happened during many airstrikes in northern Venezuela, including the capital city Caracas. The operation carried out by the U.S. Army's Delta Force.

Those attack happened in the early hours of 3rd January local time. President of Colombia Gustavo Petro was one the first leaders to speak out about this. He posted a series of statements on Twitter or X including a list of places that have been attacked and also have stated Colombia's position.

This is a serious violation of international law and there is no legal basis for the United States to do that. This act violated the article 2 paragraph 4 of the United Nations Charter to not use "force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state", in other words, this is a crime of aggression.
