U.S. President Donald Trump released the first image of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro aboard a U.S. warship, showing him blindfolded and handcuffed on the USS Iwo Jima after his capture by U.S. forces. The photo, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, depicts Maduro in casual clothing with a water bottle, following a military operation that ousted him. Trump said the U.S. would **“run” Venezuela until a stable transition takes place and suggested American oil firms could enter the country. Maduro and his wife are expected to face drug-related charges in New York. (PC: NDTV)
