Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Celia Flores, are tonight being held in the United States.
In a dramatic series of events, the couple were taken from their Caracas compound in a swift strike in the middle of the night.
Venezuelan officials say at least 40 people were killed in the attack.
President Donald Trump emerged hours later to say the US will temporarily ‘run’ Venezuela.
Maduro has been indicted on drugs and weapons charges.
Maduro previously denied those claims.
The US Attorney-General says he’ll soon face the ‘wrath of American justice’.
