Following the January 3, 2026, U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and wife Cilia Flores, Donald Trump announced temporary U.S. control over Venezuela pending transition, amid celebrations by opposition and exiles, condemnations from allies like Russia and China, and a pending UN Security Council debate.
American Airlines operated its first direct flight from Miami to Caracas on Thursday, seven years after a US ban and months after federal approval, reconnecting families amid improved US-Venezuela ties following Nicolás Maduro's removal from power. The event drew celebrations and praise from the White House.
