This was announced on Tuesday by US President Donald Trump on the social network Truth Social, who also confirmed that the United States had carried out military strikes on targets in Venezuela. According to Trump, this was a \u201enecessary step to restore stability and security in the region.\u201c.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American president said that Maduro's arrest was part of an \u201einternational security operation,\u201c the details of which he declined to specify. \u201eThe Venezuelan people have the right to freedom and an end to repression,\u201c Trump wrote. At the same time, he called a press conference for 11:00 local time (17:00 CET) at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, where, according to the White House, more information on the situation will be provided. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government announced that it has no confirmed information on the president's whereabouts.

According to the General Staff, the armed forces are to protect strategic infrastructure, oil terminals and the capital Caracas. The public has been advised to restrict movement and follow safety instructions. Reports of US strikes prompted immediate reactions in the region. Several Latin American states called for maximum restraint and respect for international law. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The United Nations said it was closely monitoring the situation and called for the protection of civilians.
