The Trump administration justified the January 2026 operation as a law enforcement action to arrest Nicolás Maduro on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges, aiming to disrupt alleged cartel networks threatening America. President Trump also highlighted securing Venezuela's vast oil reserves, allowing US companies to rebuild infrastructure and benefit from resources. Critics call it a violation of international law driven by resource control. The raid captured Maduro without a full invasion. 🛢️⚖️🔥 #VenezuelaCrisis #USIntervention #MaduroCaptured #NarcoTerrorism #OilWars #Trump2026 #Geopolitics 🇺🇸🛢️💣
