Nicolás Maduro Says “Happy New Year” After Shocking U.S. Arrest

Описание: Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro surprised international audiences by wishing U.S. federal agents a “Happy New Year” shortly after being captured by American forces and brought to New York, footage shows. After being taken into custody during a controversial U.S. military operation that targeted his government and led to his arrest in Venezuela and subsequent transfer to Stewart Air National Guard Base, Maduro was filmed on Jan. 3 greeting agents with a calm “Good night” and “Happy New Year” despite the high-stakes situation he now faces in U.S. custody. Former President Donald Trump, who confirmed Maduro’s capture, said the operation involved coordinated strikes and that the former Venezuelan leader — along with his wife, Cilia Flores — would face charges in federal court in New York; prosecutors have accused Maduro and others of drug- and weapons-related offenses, including narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracy. The dramatic turn of events — described by Trump as the successful removal of a longstanding adversary in Latin America — has sparked global debate, with some celebrating the end of Maduro’s controversial rule and others condemning the U.S. action as a breach of sovereignty and international law. Maduro’s unexpected “Happy New Year” greeting, delivered while handcuffed and escorted by U.S. officials, added a surreal note to the historic moment, underscoring both his defiance and the extraordinary circumstances of his arrest and detention. The development marks a significant escalation in U.S.-Venezuela relations and has triggered protests, international criticism and discussions about the legal, diplomatic and geopolitical implications of removing a sitting president through foreign military action.
