"Trump has begun his imperialist plan with the aim of benefiting the extreme right and the powerful," said Igor Zulaika, EH Bildu's Head of International Policy and Relations. "We have come together for peace, democracy and the right to self-determination."

For the platform, the Venezuelan president has been "a person who has caused a lot of suffering," and the US operation has aroused "hope."

The Venezuelan Supreme has replaced Delcy Rodriguez, but Trump has said the US will lead the country "until a safe, adequate, and sensible transition is made."

The Boeing 757 military aircraft carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro landed at around 23:00 this Saturday in New York. The leftist leader has descended from the plane with his head covered, surrounded by agents.

In early 2013, Maduro's career changed radically as he became president of Venezuela. Chavez died on March 5 and elections were called, in which Maduro won 51% of the vote, defeating Henrique Capriles.

Venezuela's only legitimate president, Nicolas Maduro, stressed on Saturday that the executive vice president of Venezezuela, after being arrested by US military forces.

Hundreds of Venezuelans have taken to the streets in broad daylight in the capital, Caracas, demanding the release of Maduro and his return to Venezuela.

The largest concentration has taken place next to the Miraflores Palace, the seat of the Venezuelan Government. 

Thousands of people from Venezuela live in the Basque Country, many of whom are opposed to Nicolas Maduro's government. They are hopeful about what happened and hope for a peaceful transition.

Although it has been described as an attack on drug trafficking, experts believe that Trump's real goal is to bring about political change in Venezuela.

U.S. President Donald Trump reported the news through social media. 

Aircraft have been heard along with the explosions, and some of the explosions have occurred at the country's main military base, Fort Tiuna, west of the city, and at the military base of La Carlota.

So far, neither the Pentagon nor the US Government nor Venezuela have confirmed the attack mentioned by Trump. If confirmed, it would be the first US attack on Venezuelan soil.

The Government has stressed that the decision has been taken "to ensure strict respect for human rights".

The Chavista government has described the incident as an act of "piracy" and has also denounced the "forced disappearance" of the crew.

The United States has seized and confiscated an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as part of Washington's naval military deployment in the Caribbean since August. Caracas has described it as a "blatant robbery" and has announced that it will report this "serious international crime" to foreign authorities.

TheVenezuelan opposition leader should receive the Nobel Peace Prize today. In the last few hours, it was announced that Ana Corina, the daughter of Sosa Machado, would receive the award.

The Venezuelan opposition has assured the Nobel Institute that he will travel to the Norwegian capital. If so, it would be Machado's first public appearance since August 2024. The head of the Nobel Peace Committee has described the trip as "dangerous" because of the reprisals that Nicolas Maduro's government may take against Machado.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has confirmed that he has spoken to his US colleague, Donald Trump, amid tensions over the country's military deployment in the Caribbean and the crisis of air connectivity in the oil nation. According to Maduro, the White House contacted the Miraflores Palace (the seat of the Venezuelan government in Caracas) "about ten days ago" (it could be 23 November, but it did not specify the date).

The President of the United States does not rule out the possibility of bombing other countries: "Anyone who produces drugs or sells them in the United States is in the spotlight."
