Venezuela Live: Chaos as gunfire erupts near the presidential palace | UK | News

Venezuela was thrown into turmoil on Monday night as heavy gunfire echoed near the presidential palace in Caracas following the dramatic removal of President Nicolás Maduro from power. Extraordinary images showing the sound of bullet rain falling on the capital appeared on social media.

Residents reported hearing ‘anti-aircraft’ explosions around the presidential palace as chaos engulfed the streets since Maduro and his wife were captured from their homes and quickly transported to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. The night sky was lit up by what appeared to be drones and anti-aircraft fire around 20:15 local time.

Minister Donald Trump It was shockingly revealed on Monday that it could take up to 18 months for citizens to elect a new leader, promising to help rebuild Venezuela’s neglected infrastructure. Trump stated that he would be responsible for ‘taking care’ of the nation’s health during this period.

Trump said, “We have to fix the country first. You can’t have an election. There’s no way people can even vote.” “No, it’s going to take some time. We need to get the country back to health.”
