Trump’s 5 Important Statements After the Strike in Venezuela
1- According to IANS, speaking to “Fox & Friends Weekend” just a few hours after the operation, Trump said that he followed the raid live from Mar-a-Lago. “It was an amazing job, an incredible job that these people did. There’s no one else who can do something like this,” he said.
Trump said he and his team watched via video feeds as the operation progressed, including footage of U.S. forces breaking through steel doors. “They broke through the steel doors in a matter of seconds,” he said. “I’ve actually never seen anything like it.”
2- The US President also said that no American soldiers died during the operation, but suggested that some may have been injured when a helicopter involved in the mission was shot down. He did not give further details.
3- Trump confirmed that Maduro and his wife were taken out of Venezuela by helicopter and transferred to the USS Iwo Jima, one of several US warships operating in the Caribbean. “They’re going to go to New York,” Trump told Fox News. “The helicopters took them out and they went by helicopter, it was a nice flight. I’m sure they enjoyed it.”
4- Trump declined to immediately support Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado when asked on Fox News. “Yes, we need to look immediately,” he said.
5- According to ANI, Trump told Fox News that the US planned to launch a military operation in Venezuela four days ago but had to postpone it due to weather conditions.

Citing people familiar with the mission, IANS reported that the operation relied on elite US units.
The CIA identified where Maduro and his wife were staying, and US Army Delta Force soldiers carried out the raid.
The CIA also supported air, sea and land operations as part of what was described as a highly secretive “grab and grab” mission.
Nicolas Maduro has been facing US criminal charges since 2020, and Washington has long accused his administration of corruption, drug trafficking and undermining democratic institutions. The Venezuelan leadership has consistently denied these accusations.
