Updating coverage in the Trump Venezuela Intervention series: On January 8, 2026, the US Senate voted 52-47 in a procedural step to advance S.J. Res. 98, prohibiting additional military actions after President Trump's raid capturing Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores. Five Republicans joined Democrats over escalation fears, as Latin American leaders condemned the moves and oil prices dipped on supply concerns.
Us forces invaded Venezuela on Saturday (3) and captured dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Caracas, accused of narcoterrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro will be tried in New York on Monday (5), while Delcy Rodríguez assumes interim power with military support. The action sparked regional condemnations for sovereignty violation and protests in both countries.
